Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cardamom, clove and salt. Place the brown sugar and butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the molasses, egg and fresh ginger and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add the crystallized ginger and using a rubber spatula, stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until well combined. With a 2-teaspoon sized scoop, drop the dough onto a parchment lined half sheet pan approximately 2-inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 12 minutes for slightly chewy cookies or 15 minutes for more crisp cookies. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to stay on the sheet pan for 30 seconds before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with all of the dough. Store in an airtight container for up 10 days. If desired, you may scoop and freeze the cookie dough on a sheet pan and once frozen, place in a resealable bag to store. Bake directly from the freezer as above.

Pinch off a little of the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls (dough may be very moist, if so, dip hands in warm water before forming balls). Dip each ball into the granulated sugar and arrange sugar side up on prepared baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cracked on top.

Chill dough, covered, until firm, at least 1 hour, and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls and in a small bowl roll balls in granulated sugar to coat. Arrange balls about 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake in batches in middle of oven until flattened and a shade darker, 10 to 12 minutes. (Cookies will puff slightly and then collapse slightly, and tops will be covered with little cracks.) Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 minutes and transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely. Cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature 5 days.

Steps:

• Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Warm the molasses, and mix the molasses, oil and water.
• If the molasses is not warm enough to dissolve into the water, they can all be warmed a little together- the microwave is fine for this.
• Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• The dough should be quite stiff, and not particularly sticky.
• If it is too soft and sticky, add a little more flour.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Roll out the dough to about 1/4" thick, and cut out with cookie cutters.
• Place cookies on cookie trays which have been lined with parchment paper, or lightly oiled.
• Re-roll and cut the scraps, until the dough is gone.
• Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned and set- they will harden up as they cool.
