Brown Sugar Ginger Crisps Recipe

Brown Sugar Ginger Crisps Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger (3 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderate speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in yolk, vanilla, and gingers. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
  3. Drop heaping teaspoons of dough about 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets and bake in batches in middle of oven until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 5 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely.
