Candied Ginger Cookies image

Even though I have several cookies that are traditional to make for Christmas, every year, I like to try a new cookie. You never know when you'll find a real winner. Last year I found this recipe -- and a winner it is! I had just gotten some fresh crystalized ginger and wanted to use it in an easy recipe. This cookie, which I found at Cooks.com. fits the bill perfectly. It has a hauntingly subtle flavor -- and when you get to a chunk of crystalized ginger, WOW! Deliious!

Time 30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped candied ginger (I will use more next time!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix well. Combine flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt, mixing to combine. Add to creamed ingredients and mix well. Chill.
  • Roll into balls smaller than golf balls and flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. These spread a little so don't crowd.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • NOTE: These are very plain looking cookies. You may want to melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cookies to "fancy them up" a bit.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cookies didn't spread out in the oven. They turned out more like thick bars than cookies.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy them.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but these cookies are surprisingly good. The sweetness of the cookie balances out the spiciness of the ginger perfectly.
