Ingredients

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons light molasses
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1 egg
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

In medium bowl, stir together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice and cloves; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add molasses, gingerroot and egg; beat on low speed until blended. Add flour mixture; beat until soft dough forms.
Divide dough in half; shape each half into 12-inch log. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or freeze 30 minutes until firm.
Heat oven to 350°F. In small cup, combine crystallized ginger and granulated sugar; set aside. Cut logs into 1/2-inch slices. Onto ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 1 1/2-inches apart. Sprinkle with ginger-sugar mixture, pressing lightly into dough.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until puffed and light brown on bottom. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing in airtight container.
