Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) can substitute vegan butter
  • 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar plus more for rolling
  • 1 large Egg or flax egg for vegan
  • 0.33 cup Molasses
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour or Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger (for glaze)
  • 3 tablespoons Water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix butter and sugar until fluffy, then add egg and molasses, blending well.
  2. Add flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; mix until a thick dough forms. Roll dough into balls, then roll each in sugar and place on parchment-lined sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes until soft. Cool for 15-20 minutes to allow cookies to set.
  4. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar, ground ginger, and water until smooth. Dip cooled cookies into glaze and set.
