Equipment Needed
Directions
Preheat oven 375F. Prepare 3 large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer with paddle attachment or electric mixer, until just lightened, scraping as needed, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and molasses to the mixer; mix until incorporated, scraping the sides as needed, about 1 minute.
Add dry mix, baking soda and crystalized ginger until well blended, scraping the sides as needed.
Scoop dough into 24 scoops (about 2 tablespoons), roll by hand and coat in decorating sugar and place about 2-inches apart, 8 scoops per the prepared sheets.
Bake in preheated oven, 1 sheet at a time, until firm to touch, about 10 minutes.
Cool cookies in the pan, about 15 minutes.
Recipe Note
Notes & Tips:
- To make ahead: Make up to and including step 5. On day 2 pull the cookie balls from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, then roll in the decorating sugar and bake.
- Scrape the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
