Triple the Ginger Cookies (allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup butter (or Brummels and Brown)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg beaters)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flower
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh ginger root
  • 1/2 cup chopped crystalized ginger
Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and molasses.
  2. Combine flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt; stir into molasses mixture with a wooden spoon.
  3. Mix in the fresh and crystallized gingers.
  4. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  6. Scoop dough using a 1" ice cream scoop and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  7. Bake until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
Notes:
1) These tend to be soft, so they shouldn't be stacked without wax paper between them
2) The recipe says bake for 10 minutes, but my oven requires a lot longer.
3) They will be tasty but not as spicy as they may seem. Definitely one of my favorite recipes!
