Ingredients:
2 cup and 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp fine salt
0.25 tsp ground cloves
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
0.125 tsp cayenne pepper
12 tbsp unsalted butter
0.6666666666666666 cup white sugar
0.3333333333333333 cup candied ginger
0.25 cup molasses
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
0.5 cup white sugar
Instructions:
Whisk all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, fine salt, ground cloves, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Cream together unsalted butter, softened, and white sugar in a separate bowl until pale yellow and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add candied ginger, finely minced, molasses, vanilla extract, and egg, beaten. Whisk mixture until well blended. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir just until the flour disappears. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour white sugar into a shallow dish for rolling cookies.
Scoop out about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough with a small scoop or teaspoon. Form dough into balls and roll in white sugar. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until just set, 8 to 10 minutes.
