  3. Add the molasses, fresh ginger, powdered ginger and crystallized ginger and mix to distribute evenly.

  4. Put the mix in the fridge for an hour. *this process encourages the mix to reform and flavours to soak through*

  5. 10 minutes before the mix comes out of the fridge, preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

  6. Sprinkle some of the brown sugar onto a large plate.

  7. Take heaping teaspoons of chilled dough and roll in the sugar. Drop on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the cookies turn a light golden brown. Remove from oven and let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for a minute or two. Remove to a cooling rack.

Depending on your taster's appetite, you have enough dough to make 30 - 40 cookies.
