Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in molasses, egg and fresh ginger.
  2. Combine flours, ground ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in crystallized ginger. Cover and refrigerate until easy to handle, about 1 hour.
