Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger Chewy Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for some delicious baking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Whisk these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, creating a fragrant base for your cookies.
Step 4
Next, grab a large bowl and beat the softened butter until it’s creamy and smooth.
Step 5
Slowly add in 2 cups of sugar, continuing to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Now, it’s time to introduce the eggs.
Step 6
Add them one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
Step 7
Once they’re fully incorporated, stir in the rich molasses, allowing its deep flavor to meld with the butter and sugar.
Step 8
Gradually mix in half of your flour mixture, followed by the rest, stirring gently until the dough comes together.
Step 9
It’s okay if it’s a little sticky; that’s just part of the charm! Now, pour 3/4 cup of sugar into a shallow bowl.
Step 10
Take a scoop of dough and roll it into 2-inch balls, then coat each ball in the sugar for a sweet, sparkly finish.
Step 11
Place these sugar-coated delights on a baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 1/2 inches apart to give them room to spread.
Step 12
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they’re beautifully puffed and lightly golden brown.
Step 13
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 14
This will help them set perfectly, ensuring a delightful texture.
Step 15
Allow them to cool completely, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor—these cookies are sure to bring a smile to your face!.
