Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup molasses

1 cup diced candied ginger

Directions

Adjust oven rack to middle and lower positions and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in egg and molasses. Add dry ingredients to bowl and beat until just combined. Stir in diced candied ginger with a rubber spatula. Using a medium sized cookie scoop or a spoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake until edges are darkened and tops are just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cookies can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to one week.
