How to Make Spicy Ginger Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup molasses, and 2 tablespoons vinegar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
