How to Make Ginger Toffee Bites

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Beat in 1 large egg and 1/4 cup molasses until well combined (about 30 seconds).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup chopped toffee pieces and 1/2 cup crystallized ginger.
Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
After chilling, roll the dough into 24 balls, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, ensuring they are completely coated.
Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Rotate the baking sheet and continue baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are cracked on top but still slightly soft to the touch.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
