Servings: persons

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons candied ginger, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup unsulphured molasses, mild flavor
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.Combine the sugar and candied ginger in a food processor and grind until fine.
2
Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, wisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
4
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and sift into the butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to blend.
5
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
6
Using a #20 cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measure, scoop balls of dough, and gently flatten to form 2-1/2 to 3 inch discs.
7
Roll each disc in the ginger sugar, and place on the lined cookie sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
8
Bake 12-15 minutes, until just golden brown around the edges, but still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
9
Remove from the oven and immediately slide the paper or mat onto a metal rack to cool.
10
I use a small cookie scoop for these to make smaller (and more!) cookies. Start out baking them for 8 minutes and then adjust the time accordingly.
