1/2 cup sugar (brown or white!) + more for rolling in
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
The wet:
1/4 cup water + more as needed
1/4 cup molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- Preheat oven to 180.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl.
- Pour the wet bowl into the dry and mix like crazy. You might need to add a tablespoon of water at a time until you get a dough. It will look weird.
- Roll the dough into small bowls and dip the balls into sugar to coat them. Place on lined baking trays and flatten a tiny bit.
- Cook for 8 – 10 minutes.
- Remove carefully and cool on a wire rack. Eat!!
