Real Simple, 2005
MAKES ABOUT 6 DOZEN
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temp
1 /34 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar for dusting
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon cardamon
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup crystallized ginger fine chop
HANDS-ON TIME: 20 MIN/TOTAL TIME: 1 HR 40 MIN
Cream the butter and 1 3/4 cups sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Lower to medium and add the eggs, molasses, vinegar, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and pepper. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat until incorporated. Fold in the crystallized ginger. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions (it will be sticky).
Place each portion on a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a 12-inch log, 2 inches in diameter. Wrap and chill for 1 hour. Heat oven to 375° F.
Slice each log into disks, 1/2 inch thick. Dredge in the remaining sugar.
Place on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake until crinkly around the edges, about 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
