Lately I've really been in the mood for anything with ginger and molasses. These definitely fit the criteria and are super tasty. I think i'll make these for neighbor gifts this year and package them up pretty.
2 1/2 C. flour
2 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
3/4 C. butter, room temp
1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 C. granulated sugar, plus more for coating & dusting
6 T. molasses
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silpat liners. Whisk together flour, soda, salt, ginger, allspice, and pepper. Using kitchenaid mixer cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg. Gradually add in flour mixture, mixing on low speed. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and freeze for 20 minutes.
Remove dough from freezer. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar to coat. Place on baking pan and flatten. Sprinkle with more sugar {it takes quite a bit to get that white coating, so make sure it's a nice little mound}. Bake until brown 10-11 minutes. Cool on wire rack & enjoy!
