Sorry for late response! Been busy and did not get request till now. This is my DD's recipe.
Big Soft Ginger Cookies
2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
4 t. ginger (DD uses chopped ginger)
1 t. baking soda
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. cloves
1 t. ground red pepper(cayenne)
1/4 t. salt
3/4 c. butter (softened)
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 T. orange juice
1/4 c. molasses
Sugar in the Raw or Vanilla sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together...flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne & salt....set aside.
In large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and stir in orange juice and molasses.
Gradually stir sifted ingredients into molasses mixture.
Shape dough into walnut-sized balls, roll in sugar......Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2" apart and flatten slightly.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to wire rack to cool completely.
Store in air-tight container.
(If you do not want as much 'bite'...decrease the amount of cayenne.)
