**Ginger Biscuits**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon ground ginger
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup molasses
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Granulated sugar for rolling
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the granulated sugar, coating it completely.
7. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.
8. Bake the ginger biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown.
9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, these ginger biscuits are ready to be enjoyed with a steaming cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Warm, spiced, and utterly delightful, these homemade ginger biscuits are a wonderful way to add a touch of sweetness to your day.
