Triple Ginger Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ¼ cup molasses

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup chopped crystallized ginger

  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

Directions

  • Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in egg and molasses. Gradually stir in flour mixture with a wooden spoon. Stir in crystallized and fresh ginger. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool.
