Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated, optional
  • 1/2 cup granulated or turbinado sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together and set aside.
  2. Beat the butter and brown sugar until light, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, then the molasses and fresh ginger, and beat until smooth.
  3. Mix in dry ingredients just until no flour streaks remain. Chill dough 1 hour to prevent flat spreading instead of crinkling.
  4. Heat the oven to 350F. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, then roll each one generously in the granulated sugar.
  5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges set, tops crack, and centers look slightly underdone. Finish on hot pan 5 minutes before moving.
