Yield Makes 12 five-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
1/2 cup sanding or granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, allspice, and white pepper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter with light-brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg; mix well. Add the reserved dry ingredients, and beat until just combined. Form dough into a ball, and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. Using an ice-cream scoop, shape dough into 2-inch-diameter balls. Pour sanding sugar into a large bowl, and roll balls in sanding sugar, coating well. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spaced 4 inches apart; flatten each into a 3-inch-diameter disk.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.

These cookies are a bit dry, but I think that's because I overbaked them. I'll try baking them for a shorter time next time.

The cookies didn't spread out as much as I thought they would, but they still tasted great.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The molasses and spices balance out the ginger flavor perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfectly. They're a little crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just the way I like them.

These big ginger cookies are incredibly soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of spices. I love the addition of molasses, which gives them a deep, rich flavor.
