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
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg
6 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1/2 cup sanding or granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, allspice, and white pepper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the light-brown and granulated sugars with the butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and molasses. Add the flour mixture; mix until combined. Form into a ball; wrap in plastic. Chill dough at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the sanding sugar into a bowl. Form the dough into 1-inch balls; roll each ball in sugar. Place the coated balls on prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball slightly into a disk.
  • Bake the cookies until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container up to 2 days.

I think these cookies would be even better with a little bit of lemon zest added to the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The molasses and brown sugar really balance out the flavor.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and soft. The ginger flavor is just right, not too overpowering.
