Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Place decorating sugar in small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, soda, star anise, ground ginger and salt.
- Melt butter and stir in molasses, sugar and fresh ginger. Mixture should be warm, but not hot. Let cool if too hot. Whisk in the egg. Pour this over flour mixture, add crystallized ginger and lemon zest. Stir until just combined.
- Scoop out dough into small balls (I used small melon baller) and roll in decorating suger to coat. Place on cookie sheets and bake 7 - 10 minutes or until cookies puff up, darken a little, get fragrant and crack.
- Note: I "minced" crystallized ginger in food processor as mine was hard, it took awhile, but was very finely minced. I don't know if this would work if it's too soft. Ginger needs to be extremely finely minced.
- I also ground the star anise in my spice grinder and then sifted out the larger pieces. Original recipe called for unsulphured molasses; I used cane syrup for a little milder flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Whisk first 5 ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and shortening in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in molasses, egg, and fresh ginger. Stir in crystallized ginger, then dry ingredients.
- Fill small shallow bowl with raw sugar. Using moist hands, shape 1 teaspoonful dough into ball; roll in raw sugar. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies until golden and dry-looking, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it whenever possible.
- Grate the ginger finely: Finely grated ginger will distribute its flavor more evenly throughout the cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
Conclusion:
These ginger cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, crispy edges, and intense ginger flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and spicy snack, give these ginger cookies a try.
