It comes together quickly. Just 10 minutes of prep time.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">175 g (3\/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">250 g (1 1\/4 cups) packed demerara or dark brown sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">65 g (1\/4 cup) fancy molasses<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 large egg and one egg yolk beaten at room temperature<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">335 g (2 1\/4 cups) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">18 g (2 tbs) ground ginger<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tsp. ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 tsp ground cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 tsp fine sea salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">sugar, for rolling the cookies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">If possible use digital scales for your measurements of the ingredients. This insures your accuracy in measuring and makes clean-up easier.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">For the very best results use the ingredients listed. Avoid substitutions if possible.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Have your cookie sheets ready and as soon as you have the dough mixed fill the first sheet and pop it in the oven. Fill the second sheet and have it ready to put in the oven when you take the first sheet out. This dough does not take kindly to sitting too long before baking..<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat the oven to 325F (160C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Whisk together the melted butter, demerara (or brown) sugar, molasses, egg and egg yolk in a large mixing bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a separate bowl stir the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and pepper together.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the flour mixture all at once to the butter mixture with a wooden spoon and stir until blended. The dough will seem very slack at first but it sets up very quickly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">This is a soft dough and a small ice cream scoop is a superior way to shape your dough into balls. If you are an avid cookie maker an ice cream scoop is a good investment. Lacking this handy device you can use 2 teaspoons to shape the dough. Roll each cookie gently in granulated sugar to coat and place on the prepared baking trays. Set the balls 1 1\/2 inches apart.. DO NOT PRESS THE COOKIES DOWN. This recipe makes 32 cookies. When baked the cookies measure about 3 inches across.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Bake for 20 minutes minutes for soft, chewy cookies, 25 minutes for crisper cookies. The edge should brown around the edges. The cookies will puff up while baking and then collapse as they cool, developing a lovely crackled surface.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">LET THE COOKIES COOL ON THE TRAY sitting on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3251<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>These ginger cookies are made glorious with their deep, intense ginger flavour.\u00a0 The recipe calls for two tablespoons of ginger.\u00a0 You can use less but I suggest you put your &#8220;brave&#8221; on follow this recipe.\u00a0 All of it. \u00a0\u00a0 The ginger flavour is accompanied with cinnamon, cloves and freshly ground black pepper.\u00a0 For a tender, chewy cookie bake for twenty minutes.\u00a0 A crisper, crunchy cookies takes five minutes more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"simple_likebuttons_container_small\">\r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_facebook\">\r\n        <div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n        <script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\r\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n          js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n        }(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n        <div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3889\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-width=\"90\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_twitter simple_likebuttons_twitter_s\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3889\" data-lang=\"en\">Tweet<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_googleplus\">\r\n        <g:plusone size=\"medium\" count=\"false\" href=\"http:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3889\"><\/g:plusone>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_linkedin simple_likebuttons_linkedin_s\">\r\n        <script type=\"IN\/Share\" data-url=\"http:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3889\" data-counter=\"right\"><\/script>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_xing simple_likebuttons_xing_s\">\r\n        <script data-url=\"http:\/\/mrsbutterfingers.com\/?p=3889\" data-lang=\"de\" data-counter=\"right\" type=\"XING\/Share\"><\/script>\r\n        <script>\r\n          ;(function(d, s) {\r\n            var x = d.createElement(s),\r\n              s = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n            x.src ='https:\/\/www.xing-share.com\/js\/external\/share.js';\r\n            s.parentNode.insertBefore(x, s);\r\n          })(document, 'script');\r\n        <\/script>\r\n      <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is no ordinary ginger cookie.\u00a0 It delivers an extraordinary burst of ginger flavour and then offers more. \u00a0 It has the crisp ginger snap that goes beautifully with cold milk.
