Spicy Ginger Cookies 2 ½ c. white flour In a bowl, sift together the flour, soda, spices, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed for 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for 1 more minute. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the crystallized ginger and mix until combined. If the dough is soft, refrigerate for an hour before baking. Scoop a ball of dough out of the bowl and roll each cookie into a 1-inch ball. Flatten the ball lightly with your fingers. Press both sides of each cookie in white sugar and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool. Store in a sealed container or bag. |
