Triple ginger cookies get a boost with a little dark chocolate in the middle and demerara sugar. It's also really tempting not to spell it demerarararara. —Fresh Beats, Fresh Eats
Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups
AP flour
-
1/3 cup
minced crystallized ginger
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
grated fresh ginger
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground ginger
-
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves
-
2 teaspoons
baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
3/4 cup
unsalted butter (room temp)
-
1/2 cup
light brown sugar (packed)
-
1/2 cup
dark brown sugar (packed)
-
1
egg
-
1/4 cup
mild flavored molasses
-
1 cup
demarara sugar (for rolling)
-
30-40
dark chocolate Hershey's kisses
Directions
-
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, then stir in the crystallized ginger.
-
Put the butter in your stand mixer and beat it until its nice and creamy, about 2 minutes.
-
Beat in the brown sugars one at a time, then keep it going at medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Get 'em fluffy, folks.
-
Mix in the egg, molasses, both remaining gingers, cinnamon, and cloves. Then add half the flour stuff in, mix it in on low, and add the other half.
-
Now's the time when I tell you to stop being fat and refrigerate the dough overnight, so the flavors can get nice and groovy. And you want groovy flavors...don't you?
-
Get a small, wide bowl and pour the demarara sugar in it. Roll yourself some dough balls (about 1 1/2 tsp per ball, it should be a little smaller than a golf ball) and roll the balls in the sugar.
-
Preheat your oven to 350.
-
Line a couple baking sheets with parchment and put the cookie balls on them, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
-
Stick them in the oven, one on the top rack and one in the middle. Bake for 8 minutes, switch 'em, and bake for another 7. If they're just barely cracked, you're golden.
-
IMMEDIATELY stick the cookies on a cooling rack and gently press a chocolate kiss into the middle of each one, then let them cool for 5 minutes. No fancy cooling time here.
-
Eat.
