Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar (for dough)
- 60 milliliters molasses
- 1 piece large egg
- 280 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 60 grams crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and 200 grams of granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the molasses and egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the fresh grated ginger and finely chopped crystallized ginger to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Then roll each ball in the additional 50 grams of granulated sugar until fully coated.
Step 8
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and start to crackle on top.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
