Spicy Ginger Chewies
Soft and chewy in the middle with a crispy exterior, these Spicy Ginger Cookie Chewies are filled with cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Rolling the dough in sugar gives these cookies a crispy exterior.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup molasses
- ½ cup white sugar for rolling the dough in
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
