Ginger-Toffee Cookies - cjs - 11-06-2007 I wanted to post this in the Gingerbread (or 'brede' ) thread, but I hadn't tried it so, was hesitant. Just made it, well kind of, it's at the point of the 1 hour rest - and if I can stay out of the dough, I might get some wonderful cookies made - the dough is wonderful!!! Will post if the rest is any good.... Ginger-Toffee Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup unsalted butter -- (1 1/2 sticks) room temperature 1 cup dark brown sugar -- (packed) 1 large egg 3 tablespoons dark robust-flavored molasses (do not use blackstrap) 1/2 cup toffee bits 1/4 cup minced crystallized ginger 1 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 large (16x14-inch) baking sheets. Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Add egg and molasses; beat until well blended (do not over beat). Add dry ingredients and beat on low speed just until blended. Mix in toffee and crystallized ginger. Chill dough 1 hour. Place turbinado sugar in shallow bowl. Using hands, shape dough into 24 balls, each about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Roll each dough ball in turbinado sugar, coating completely. Place 12 balls on each prepared sheet, spacing evenly apart. Bake cookies 8 minutes. Reverse cookie sheets and continue baking until cracked on top but still soft to touch, about 8 minutes longer. Cool cookies on sheets 5 minutes. Using metal spatula, transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.) ----- These soft, spicy and assertive cookies are loaded with toffee bits and crystallized ginger. Rolling them in turbinado sugar gives them a crunchy outside Source: Cooking.com Makes 24 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Re: Ginger-Toffee Cookies - Mare749 - 11-06-2007 Well, they sure sound scrumptious!
