Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for coating
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger, for coating
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for coating

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • If using, fold in the chopped crystallized ginger.
  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon for the coating.
  • Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in the sugar and spice mixture, coating evenly.
  • Place the coated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
