These are soft, chewy and delicious ginger molasses cookies with gorgeous sparkling sugar on the outside. They are absolutely, hands-down, my favourite cookie of all time.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of melted butter
1 cup of brown sugar (we use golden brown)
1 slightly beaten egg
1/4 cup of fancy molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
In a medium bowl, combine the first four ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Blend dry ingredients into wet. Cover and chill dough for one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Roll dough into one inch balls, then roll in white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used a silpat, and they turn out great). Bake for 8-10 minutes, until tops are a little crackly. Cool on sheet for five minutes, then place on wire racks to cool further. To keep the cookies soft, chewy and fabulous, place a piece of bread in a covered container. It really works. They'll stay fresh-baked soft until they are gone.
