How to Make Spicy Christmas Ginger Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the crystallized ginger and candied ginger.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can drizzle with melted white chocolate or royal icing for an extra festive touch (optional).
