How to Make Ginger Brown Sugar Crisps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon ground ginger until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the middle of the oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
