Adventures in Baking - Chewy Ginger Cookies with Raisins

A combination of fresh and dried ginger really gives these cookies a nice snappy flavor. By rolling the tops in sanding sugar you ensure the spicy-sweet flavor really sings. They were super easy to make and tasted great.

1. Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tbs ground ginger, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.

2. Cream 1 stick of unsalted butter with 1 cup sugar. Mix in 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger, 1 egg, and 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses. Fold in 3/4 cup raisins.

3. Let cool in fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then form into little balls and cook for 16 minutes at 350.
