Hot, Spicy and Chewy

A few years ago I found this recipe on www.recipezaar.com and it has become a staple around the holidays. The other day I wanted something a little spicy, a little chewy and a little gooey and made them. I thought I would share the recipe.

Moxie's Crystallized Ginger Cookies (36 cookies)
Ingredients
11 tablespoons room temperature butter
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup dark
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 ounces candied ginger, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Directions - Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter& sesame oil with molasses sugar and egg. Sift together dry ingredients (except candied ginger) and add to creamed mixture. Blend well. Fold in candied ginger. Chill for one hour. Form into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar. Put cookies about 2 inches apart from each other on a greased baking sheet (or one you have lined with parchment paper). Bake 8-10 minutes. And there they are!
