How to Make Ginger Beltane Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup molasses and 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls, or drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with red sanding sugar, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or granulated sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft (for crispier cookies, bake for a few minutes longer).
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
