1 cup of packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons of melted margarine
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup applesauce
1 egg white
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-2 tbsp. grated gingerroot
1/2 cup crystalized candied ginger
white sugar (or turbinado sugar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Beat together the molasses, margerine, and brown sugar. Beat in the applesauce the eggwhite, and grated ginger root. Mix the dry ingredients evenly. Cut the crystallized ginger into smaller pieces and add as many as you want to the dry mixture (Bigger and more chunks=spicier!). Stir everything together, being careful not to overstir. If dough is hard to work with, chill in fridge until it's harder Generously coat each ball of dough with white sugar. Bake for 8-12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will make the cookies more tender and flavorful.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: This will help you get evenly sized cookies that bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help them bake through without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
