Candied Ginger Cookies image

Even though I have several cookies that are traditional to make for Christmas, every year, I like to try a new cookie. You never know when you'll find a real winner. Last year I found this recipe -- and a winner it is! I had just gotten some fresh crystalized ginger and wanted to use it in an easy recipe. This cookie, which I found at Cooks.com. fits the bill perfectly. It has a hauntingly subtle flavor -- and when you get to a chunk of crystalized ginger, WOW! Deliious!

Time 30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped candied ginger (I will use more next time!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well. Combine flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt, mixing to combine. Add to creamed ingredients and mix well. Chill.
  • Roll into balls smaller than golf balls and flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. These spread a little so don't crowd.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • NOTE: These are very plain looking cookies. You may want to melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cookies to "fancy them up" a bit.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The cookies didn't spread out very much in the oven. They ended up being more like thick bars than cookies.

I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to add extra flour to get it to the right consistency.
