Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
- Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.
MOLASSES GINGER CRINKLES
Steps:
- Cream the butter, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and the brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon and beat until light and fluffy (see Know-how, page 315). Slowly add the egg, molasses, and coffee extract, beating well to combine.
- Combine the flour, ground ginger, fresh ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a separate bowl and stir to mix.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just until combined. Cover the dough with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight, until firm.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the crystallized ginger in a small shallow bowl and stir to mix. Pinch off small pieces of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar-ginger mixture to coat evenly and arrange on ungreased baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Serve warm or transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve, or for up to 3 days.

GINGER CRINKLES
I came up with these cookies by combining ingredients from two recipes. It's the perfect ginger cookie-crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. I send them to my son, and he shares them with his employees. Whenever I ask what kind of cookies to send, these are at the very top of the list. -Judy Wilson, Sun City West, Arizona
