Instructions
- Mix the sugar and butter in a large bowl or stand mixer for 3-4 minutes until light and creamy. Add the molasses and egg and mix well. Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper on a piece of parchment paper then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour up to 2 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Use a #24 cookie scoop (2-inch scoops) to make rounded balls. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands until smooth then roll in the sanding sugar. Lightly grease a baking sheet and place 6 dough balls per sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Do not overbake. The cookies will be puffy and will flatten as they cool. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
