Fresh Ginger Cookies image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com a couple years ago and it has become a tradition every year during the holidays. I did find another recipe posted with the allrecipe recipe but the amount of ginger called for wasn't correct. Placing here for safekeeping.

Time 45m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat ginger, butter, and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg. Gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and then roll them in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake until edges start to brown, about 15 minutes. Centers will be slightly soft. Let stand on cookie sheets 1 minute and remove to racks to cool completely.
