Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup AP Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Grated Ginger
- 3/4 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 1 egg
In a separate bowl, combine your flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
Peel and grate your fresh ginger and add it into the bowl with your butter and sugar. Beat until fluffy.
Add in your molasses and egg and beat until combined.
Add in half of your dry ingredients and beat until combined. Add the rest and then just mix until just combined. (I’d do this by hand)
Put about 1/2-3/4 cup of sugar in a bowl. This is additional sugar. Don’t Panic! I didn’t add it into the initial list of ingredients. Form about 1/2 sized balls of dough and then roll it in sugar before placing on a cookie sheet.
I recommend using parchment paper because I’m lazy as fuck..and its super easy.
So, line your cookie sheet, and place your balls about 2 inches apart. . The cookies..keep your mind out of the gutter.
Okay..back on subject. Bake for about 15 minutes and let them cool for about a minute on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooking rack.
This are super duper yummy and easy to make. I personally really love the bite of fresh ginger so you could add a little more than the recommended 2 tablespoons if you like and I think they’d still be delicious. Just make sure to let your friends and family know there is fresh ginger in there since it kinda looks like hair…..
