Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg
6 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1/2 cup sanding or granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, allspice, and white pepper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the light-brown and granulated sugars with the butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and molasses. Add the flour mixture; mix until combined. Form into a ball; wrap in plastic. Chill dough at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sanding sugar into a bowl. Form the dough into 1-inch balls; roll each ball in sugar. Place the coated balls on prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball slightly into a disk.
  • Bake the cookies until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container up to 2 days.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I thought these cookies were still pretty good. The molasses flavor really balances out the ginger.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover ginger. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

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

These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. The ginger flavor is subtle but still noticeable.

OMG! These cookies are the BOMB! They're so soft and chewy, and the ginger flavor is perfect. I've made them twice already and they're a huge hit with my family and friends.
