Ingredients
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup dark molasses
1 cup Sugar in the Raw
Quick Tip
For a better cookie, soften the butter at room temperature, not in the microwave.
Recipe Preparation
Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves together. Beat the butter and shortening in a bowl until creamy. Beat in the granulated sugar gradually. Beat in the egg and molasses. Sift one-third of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix well. Sift the remaining dry ingredients into the butter mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Pinch off walnut-size pieces of dough and shape into balls. Roll the balls in the Sugar in the Raw. Place 2 inches apart on a baking parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the cookies are rounded and slightly cracked. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
