Ginger molasses crinkle cookies are soft, chewy and extra moist. We packed them with warm spices, candied ginger and blackstrap molasses for big flavor and a gorgeous, glimmering crinkle top.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup finely chopped candied ginger
- sanding sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cream butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, until very light and fluffy, 3- 5 minutes. Add oil and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Mix in molasses, egg and vanilla until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and slowly mix until dough comes together. Mix in candied ginger. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
- Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls (about 2 tablespoons or 1 1/2 oz each), roll into smooth balls and toss to coat in sanding sugar. Store on a baking sheet in the fridge and preheat oven to 375°F
- When the oven is hot, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly arrange 6 balls on the pan and sprinkle extra sugar on top. Bake for 9- 10 minutes, or until puffy and just set but still very soft in the center. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat baking cookies, 6 at a time, until all of the dough balls have been baked.
