TRIPLE GINGER COOKIES



Triple Ginger Cookies image

Dense chewy interior, crispy exterior, bursting with ginger throughout! I got this recipe from 101 Cookbooks.com. I changed a few ingredients for personal taste.

Provided by Susan Dillard

Categories     Dessert

Time 52m

Yield 48-54 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup decorator sugar, large grain
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon star anise, finely ground
4 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/4 cup cane syrup
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 large egg, well beaten
1 cup crystallized ginger, then finely minced
2 lemons, zest only

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Place decorating sugar in small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, soda, star anise, ground ginger and salt.
  • Melt butter and stir in molasses, sugar and fresh ginger. Mixture should be warm, but not hot. Let cool if too hot. Whisk in the egg. Pour this over flour mixture, add crystallized ginger and lemon zest. Stir until just combined.
  • Scoop out dough into small balls (I used small melon baller) and roll in decorating suger to coat. Place on cookie sheets and bake 7 - 10 minutes or until cookies puff up, darken a little, get fragrant and crack.
  • Note: I "minced" crystallized ginger in food processor as mine was hard, it took awhile, but was very finely minced. I don't know if this would work if it's too soft. Ginger needs to be extremely finely minced.
  • I also ground the star anise in my spice grinder and then sifted out the larger pieces. Original recipe called for unsulphured molasses; I used cane syrup for a little milder flavor.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a stronger flavor than ground ginger, so it will give your cookies a more intense ginger flavor.
  • Grate the ginger finely: Grating the ginger finely will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
