Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, grated fresh ginger, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.
- For a sweeter touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled cookies.
