Spicy Molasses Ginger Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 1/3 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Sift all the dry ingredients - including flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and allspice - into a large mixing bowl. Combine them thoroughly.
3
Using an electric mixer, blend sugar and butter in a separate large bowl until they form a smooth and creamy mixture. Then, incorporate the egg and molasses into this buttery mixture.
4
Gradually merge the sifted dry ingredients with the creamy butter mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. Gently fold in any additional crystallized ginger.
5
Form rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough into small balls using your hands, and place them on ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
6
Bake the cookies in your preheated oven until they have a rounded top and are slightly cracked, approximately 10 minutes.
7
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for just a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
