Ingredients
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Candied ginger chopped very fine
- Red hot candies and frosting to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, packed dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the freshly grated ginger, egg, and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Mix in the unsulphured molasses until fully incorporated into the dough.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Stir in the finely chopped candied ginger, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop 2 tablespoon measures of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 and 1/2 inches of space between each cookie. They will spread slightly during baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled, let your creativity shine by decorating them with red hot candies and frosting. Personalize each cookie to your holiday heart's desire!
