Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons ground ginger
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1/2 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, 3 teaspoons of the ginger, 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, the baking soda and salt. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer on high speed 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg. Beat on medium speed 1 minute or until blended, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended.
  • In small bowl, mix turbinado sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons ginger and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar mixture. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
