Ingredients
  • 1/2+ cup large-grain sugar (i.e. turbinado)
  • 2 cups Spelt flour OR whole wheat pastry flour OR All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon star anise, finely ground
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
  • 2/3 cup fine grain natural cane sugar, sifted
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 large egg, well beaten
  • 1 cup crystallized ginger, then finely minced
  • 2 lemons, zest only

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F degree - racks in the top and bottom 1/3 of the oven.
  2. Line a couple of baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper or a Silpat mat, place the large-grain sugar in a small bowl, and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, star anise, ground ginger, and salt.
  4. Heat the butter in a skillet until it is just barely melted.
  5. Stir in the molasses, natural cane sugar, and fresh ginger.
  6. The mixture should be warm, but not hot at this point, if it is hot to touch let it cool a bit.
  7. Whisk in the egg.
  8. Now pour this over the flour mixture, add the crystallized ginger (make sure it isn't too clumpy), and lemon zest.
  9. Stir until just combined.
  10. These cookies are adorable if made into small circles. Roll approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the dough into a ball shape then roll each ball in the sugar that you have placed either in your hands or in a bowl.
  11. Place dough a few inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cookies puff up, darken a bit, get fragrant and crack.
  13. Makes about 4 dozen.
