Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup molasses
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, dry mustard powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses and the egg to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat.

Step 7

Place the sugared dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve with a warm cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy the unique mustard-ginger flavor pairings!
