Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices ( cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, white pepper, ground ginger) and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) beat the brown sugar, butter and molasses on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides. Beat another 2-3 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add freshly grated ginger and candied ginger, scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all is incorporated.

Step 5

With the mixer still on low, gradually add the flour to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. The mixture will be quite firm but should incorporate all the flour.

Step 6

Either roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and then flatten them lightly with your fingers coating them with turbinado sugar, and place on parchment-lined sheet pans. (Or alternately, roll into an l ½ diameter log, wrap in parchment and refrigerate, unit firm, about 1-2 hours. Slice off equal-sized disks. Roll in raw sugar.)

Step 7

Bake for 11-13 minutes, total, *but check at 9 minutes. If the cookies haven’t started to spread, wack the baking pan firmly on the oven rack to start the spread. Finish baking. The cookies will crisp & crackle on the top and be soft and chewy inside.
