Ingredients
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses
  • Coarse sanding sugar
  • Parchment paper

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
  3. Whisk together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  4. Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add egg and egg yolk; beat to combine.
  6. Add grated and crystallized ginger and continue beating until combined.
  7. Add flour mixture, alternating with molasses, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Continue beating until fully incorporated.
  8. Cover and refrigerate cookie mix until firm; at least one hour.
  9. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Coat each ball with sanding sugar, and place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake, rotating pans once, until flattened and golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  11. Cool on pans 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

The neighbor boy loves to come over and cook.He's 2 1/2 years old. I think he will love making these this week. Thanks! Tanya


I am so sorry. My screen reader wasn't reading the number on the ratings scale. I clicked on the first one, just to see if it would tell me the number and now it won't let me remove it. I made these today with my neighbor boy, and he loves them. Do you know how I can change my rating. Again, I am soooooo sorry.


These sound delicious. I love crystallized ginger in cookies. I'll be making these for sure. High 5
