These chewy Ginger Cookies contain ginger in three different forms. Fresh grated ginger, ground ginger, and most importantly, candied ginger- which gives the cookies their flavorful and chewy punch. These cookies are perhaps more for the “adult” palate…containing white pepper and cardamom.

How to make Triple Ginger Cookies
Whisk dry ingredients together.
Freshly grated nutmeg, adds to the pleasure of baking.
Mix wet ingredients together
Add the grated ginger and candied ginger.
Freshly grated ginger, gives the cookies a little more “bite”.
And lastly, candied ginger gives even more heat while adding a chewiness. Chop or pulse in a food processor.
Combine!
Lastly, mix dry ingredients into wet mixture on a lower speed, yielding a firm dough.
Roll the dough
Dough can either be rolled into little balls and flattened, and dipped in turbinado sugar.
Turbinado Sugar– or sugar in the raw- is golden-hued and gives the cookies a nice sparkle.
Or make a 1 1/2- inch log – wrap and refrigerate, and slice off perfect little discs. Roll and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 11-13 minutes depending on the size of the cookie. They will expand, crackle and become golden brown.

Description
Chewy Triple Ginger Cookies, with three kinds of ginger- ground ginger, fresh raw ginger and candied ginger!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper ( optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil, butter or use olive oil
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated finely
- 1 1/4 cups crystallized or candied ginger (6 ounces) – chopped small (or use food processor and pulse)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Turbinado sugar ( sugar in the raw) for rolling the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices ( cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, white pepper, ground ginger) and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, melted butter ( or oil), and molasses on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides. Beat another 2-3 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 1 minute.
- Add freshly grated ginger and candied ginger, scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all is incorporated. Beat for another couple of minutes.
- With the mixer still on low, gradually add the flour to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. The mixture will be quite firm but should incorporate all the flour.
- Either roll dough into 1 1/2-inch ball and then flatten them lightly with your fingers coating them with turbinado sugar, and place on parchment-lined sheet pans. (Or alternately, roll into an l ½ diameter log, wrap in parchment and refrigerate, unit firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Slice off equal-sized disks. Roll in raw sugar.)
- Bake for 11-13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Dough can be made ahead, frozen in a log, thawed, sliced and baked.

Made this with triple ginger. Second time I left out candied ginger. Made my own and it was spicy! I chilled dough 2 days and they turned out great. I did the log roll as thick as it said but my slices were 1/2 inch. They were big but crispy chewy. Grandson loved them. I pressed on top raisins and dried cranberries and coconut. Granola because the horses love ginger cookies and granola. I can’t think of anything I changed except no candied ginger. The horses only got one each because my family devoured them.

Haha! Glad everyone enjoyed, including the horses. 😉
