LEMON GINGER COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 1 minute. Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in 2 Tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger. Dough will be thick and sticky. Scoop small sections of dough (about 1 scant Tablespoon of dough each) and roll into balls. Very lightly dip the tops of each into remaining crystallized ginger. (You don't want too much- just a few pieces.) Place dough balls onto a large plate or lined baking sheet.
• Cover and chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (and up to 4 days).
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Arrange chilled cookie dough balls 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
• Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Whisk the glaze ingredients together. If desired, add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or more juice to thin out. The thicker the glaze, the whiter (and less translucent) it will be. Drizzle on cooled cookies. Icing will set after about 1 hour, so these are convenient to store and transport.
• Cookies without glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Cookies with glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

GINGER & LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line three large cookie sheets with parchment or nonstick baking liners.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the grated ginger, lemon zest, and salt. Using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat the mixture until well blended and light, 2 to 3 min. Scrape the bowl. Add the egg yolks and vanilla; continue mixing until well blended, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the flour and mix on low speed until the dough is blended and just comes together.
• Shape tablespoonfuls of the dough into 1-inch balls (I use a small ice cream scoop) and set the balls 1-1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. In a small, shallow dish, mix the crystallized ginger and the remaining 2 Tbs. granulated sugar until blended.
• With the palm of your hand, press on one of the dough balls until it's 1/4 inch thick and about 2 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Brush the tops of the cookies with the egg white and sprinkle them with the ginger-sugar mixture. Press gently on the cookies with the bottom of a metal measuring cup to help the topping adhere.
• Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies are light brown on the bottoms and around the edges, about 11 min. on dark cookie sheets, or about 13 min. on silver-toned sheets. Set the sheet on a rack to cool for 5 min. and then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. When cool, store in airtight containers.
• Ginger flavor intensifies with time, making these cookies excellent candidates for long keeping. When stored in an airtight container, the cookies remain impressively delicious for up to five days from baking. Well wrapped, the cookies will keep for several weeks in the freezer.
