- 2 tablespoon dried minced ginger*
- 2 tablespoon water*
- 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, softened
- 1 C brown sugar
- ½ C dark molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…” C chopped crystallized ginger*
- 3 C all-purpose flour
- ½ C turbinado sugar for rolling*
Place the dried, minced ginger and water into a small bowl and set aside to rehydrate.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar.
Beat in the molasses and eggs until combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger) into the bowl and mix until combined.
Gently stir in the re-hydrated ginger and crystallized ginger until well distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic-wrap and place into the refrigerator to chill.
Chill the triple ginger cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.*
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized portions of chilled dough into your hand and roll into balls. Then roll the balls in turbinado sugar to fully coat each dough ball.
Place balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden-brown.
Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
Store cooled cookies in an air-tight container.

*You can use sweet ginger bits in place of the crystallized ginger in this recipe if desired.
*You can use granulated sugar in lieu of turbinado sugar for rolling if desired.
