Number Of Ingredients 17

COOKIES
3/4 c butter
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 c molasses
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 3/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp nutmeg)
turbinado sugar for rolling (regular granulated sugar can be used, but the turbinado is prettier and tastier)
CREAM FILLING
1 c mascarpone cheese
1 c whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp finely chopped crystalized ginger (to taste)

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and molasses.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and spices. Add to the butter mixture and mix well. Chill for one hour.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a baking tray. Roll pieces of dough into small balls (about 3/4in). Roll the balls in the turbinado sugar and place on baking trays about 2 in. apart. Bake for 8-12 minutes, 'til set but still soft. Do not overbake.
  • 4. Remove from oven and cool on racks. While cookies are cooling, make cream filling: Beat together the cheese, the cream, the sugar and the vanilla just until soft peaks form(do not overbeat!).
  • 5. Gently fold in the crystalized ginger.
  • 6. When cookies are cool, spread bottom of one cookies with 1-2t. of filling and top with another cookie. Gently press together. Store in refrigerator (if they last longer than a day!)

The cream cheese filling was a little too runny for my taste. I think I would try using a different type of cream cheese next time, or maybe adding a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.

I had a little trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly in the oven. I think I might have needed to roll them out a little thinner.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend them to others, especially if you like sweet cookies.
