Recipe for Ginger Ground

Soft Ginger Molasses Cookies

Makes: 24 cookies
Prep Time: 10 mins
Chill Time: 30 mins (optional, but recommended)
Cook Time: 10–12 mins

Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp ground ginger (star ingredient!)

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• ½ tsp ground cloves

• ½ tsp nutmeg

• 1 tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for vegan)

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

• 1 large egg (or flax egg: 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water)

• ¼ cup molasses (not blackstrap—it’s too bitter)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: ½ cup coarse sugar or granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions:

1. Whisk dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.

2. Cream wet ingredients: Beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg, molasses, and vanilla; mix well.

3. Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined.

4. Chill dough (optional but enhances flavor): Cover and refrigerate for 30 mins–1 hour.

5. Bake:

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.

   • Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in sugar (if using). Place 2 inches apart.

   • Bake for 10–12 mins (centers should look slightly underdone).

6. Cool: Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 mins before transferring to a rack.

🔥 Warmth without bite: Ground ginger (unlike fresh) blends evenly for a mellow spice.
