Here’s what you’ll need to do!

Ingredients

9 oz butter
2 eggs
1.25 cups brown sugar
0.5 tsp salt
2 tsp powdered ginger
2.25 cups flour
demerara sugar (According to Healthline, this is a sugar produced from sugarcane that has large grains. It naturally contains a small amount of molases which gives it a light brown color and caramel flavor!)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup molasses
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp ground clove

Directions

Cream butter, brown sugar, salt, and spices
Mix in the molasses, then mix in the eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda and flour, then add to the dough and mix
Scoop the mixture with a 1 oz ice cream scoop, roll it in demerara sugar, and flatten it slightly
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes until golden and slightly cracked

This is a pretty quick recipe to make with only a few specialty items like that demerara sugar and molasses. It could be a fun one to add to your holiday table or make with the family.
