These are a softer cookie rather than a snap cookie. I love these, they are one of the first cookies I made. Thanks for the recipe grandma!

Time 1h30m

Yield 46

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter
½ cup molasses
1 large egg
6 (1 inch) pieces candied ginger, minced
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in molasses, egg, and candied ginger. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
  • Roll chilled dough into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch balls. Dip balls in white sugar to coat and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
