GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES
This cookie is for the true spice lover. I just love the smell of the house when they are baking and was so fortunate to be one of my friend Lisa's taste-tester's for this recipe (and of course promptly asked for the recipe). I can't remember how many this makes so yield time is estimated. I generally make my cookies using a smaller cookie scoop so we can enjoy them longer. Oh, and if you don't have a lot of time to make these, you can omit the chilling time and they will still turn out--I'm honestly not sure if I ever chill the dough when I'm making these...rebel, I know. ;-)

Steps:
- 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.
- Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, wisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and sift into the butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to blend.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- 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.
- Roll each disc in the ginger sugar, and place on the lined cookie sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, until just golden brown around the edges, but still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and immediately slide the paper or mat onto a metal rack to cool.
- 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.
