Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup butter softened
¼ cup molasses
1 each egg
2 ¼ cup AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons canided ginger chopped
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teapoon ground cloves
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Use a grater or zester, grate the fresh ginger.
If the pieces of crystalized ginger are large, you can chop them into smaller pieces. I do this by placing the ginger on a cutting board and make a couple of chops with a chef's knife.
In a large bowl add the sugar, butter, molasses, and egg. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. You can also use a stand mixer.
In a small bowl add the flour, baking, soda, salt, grated ginger, candied ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to incorporate all the spices
Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and mix on medium speed to incorporate the flour, then add the other half and mix until the flour is combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 350° f and prepare cookie sheets with parchment.
Mix the ¼ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger in a small bowl.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 1-inch balls then roll the balls in the ginger sugar mixture. Place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until set. Cool on a wire rack, then store in an airtight container.
Option - if you want more sugar on top of the cookies just dip the top in the ginger sugar mixture when they are still warm.

Notes

I keep my ginger in the freezer so it is always on hand. It is also easier to grate ginger when it is frozen. Use a microplane zester/ grater for the best results.
