Servings: persons

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup packed light brown sugar
5 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces molasses
1 large egg
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
5 ounces candied ginger, finely chopped
Demerara sugar, for coating

1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and dry spices.
2
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Add the molasses, egg, and fresh ginger, and beat for an additional minute to combine.
4
Stir in the candied ginger.
5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir to combine.
6
Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
7
When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F.
8
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9
Pour about 1/2 cup of the demerara sugar (or another raw cane sugar) onto a plate or shallow bowl.
10
For each cookie, take 2 tablespoons of dough, roll it between your palms, and coat with sugar.
11
Place each dough ball on the lined baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each one, as they will spread.
12
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes (12 will give you a chewier cookie, 15 a crunchier one).
13
Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. These cookies will keep, covered, for 1 week.
