Chewy Triple Ginger Cookies, with three kinds of ginger- ground ginger, fresh raw ginger and candied ginger!
Ingredients
Units
- 2 1/4 cups AP flour, spooned and leveled
- 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 butter, or coconut 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)
- Turbinado sugar ( sugar in the raw) for rolling the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices ( cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, white pepper, ground ginger) and salt.
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) beat the brown sugar, butter 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.
- 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 the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls 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, total, *but check at 9 minutes. If the cookies haven’t started to spread, wack the baking pan firmly on the oven rack to start the spread. Finish baking. The cookies will crisp & crackle on the top and be soft and chewy inside.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Dough can be made ahead, frozen in a log, thawed, sliced and baked.
Cookies will keep up to 4 days at room temp, covered, or can be frozen.
