Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup crystallized ginger (cut into small bits if large)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, molasses, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated. (The dough might seem wet.) Stir in the crystallized ginger.
  • Pour the sugar into a small bowl. Using a cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough and drop into the sugar. Roll each ball in the sugar to fully coat, then place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
