Instructions

Step 1

* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

* Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.

Step 3

* In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 4

* In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed for 5 minutes.

Step 5

* Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 2 minutes.

Step 6

* With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Step 7

* Add the crystallized ginger and mix until combined.

Step 8

* Scoop the dough with a #24 cookie scoop (about two tablespoons).

Step 9

* With your hands, roll each cookie into a 1 3/4-inch ball and then flatten them lightly with your fingers. Press both sides of each cookie in granulated sugar and place them on the sheet pans.

Step 10

* Bake for exactly 13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 11

* You can freeze the dough balls and bake for 17 minutes directly from the freezer
