How to Make Ginger Pennies Rose Levy Beranbaum

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the dough to a freezer bag, seal tightly, and snip off a small corner.
  6. Pipe 1/8 teaspoon-sized dots of dough onto greased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  7. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Ensure cookies are completely cool and separated to prevent sticking.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several months.
