No frills. A simple vanilla cookie studded with candied ginger pieces.
3/4 cup (1–1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup candied ginger, finely chopped
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tbsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt (table, kosher or sea)
In a large bowl, using a standing or hand-held mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add candied ginger and beat well for about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined. Beat in flour, baking powder, and salt until dough begins to come together. Form dough into two logs about 2-inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut dough into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire racks. Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.
