Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup diced (1/8 inch) crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment; set aside. In an electric mixer, use paddle to mix butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl twice. Add egg; mix on high speed to combine. Add zest; mix to combine.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, salt, and crystallized ginger; add to butter mixture; mix on medium-low speed to combine, about 20 seconds.
  • Using two spoons, drop about 2 teaspoons of batter on baking sheet; repeat, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 7 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with sugar, rotate sheets between oven shelves, and bake until just golden, about 7 minutes more. Slide parchment with cookies onto a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

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

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The lemon flavor is really strong, and it helps to balance out the ginger.

These cookies are a bit too chewy for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I'm so glad I did! The ginger flavor is subtle and perfectly complements the lemon.
