Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoons Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cups Unsulfured molasses
• 0.25 cups Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the grated fresh ginger, egg, and molasses to the creamed mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until a dough forms and no dry pockets remain.

Step 6

Gently fold in the finely chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, rolling it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 8

Roll each cookie dough ball in the additional 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, ensuring it is well coated.

Step 9

Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and lightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven before they become too firm.

Step 11

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
