Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle and beat until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a separate bowl and mix well. Add to the butter mixture and beat until everything is well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again.
3. • Drop large teaspoonfuls of dough onto an unbuttered cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake until the edges are just brown, 8 to 12 minutes. For crispy cookies, let cool on the sheet. Let the cookie sheet cool completely between batches and repeat with the remaining dough.
