Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters molasses
- 1 large egg
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 50 grams crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the molasses and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the grated fresh ginger and the finely chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar until fully coated.
Step 8
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly puffy. Do not overbake, as this will ensure the cookies remain soft and chewy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet 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 one week, or freeze for longer storage.
