These extra-zingy cookies are thin with crisp edges and soft centers. And because they’re made with fresh ginger, powdered ginger, and crystallized ginger, they’ve got a bite that sets them apart. The Anova Precision Oven’s convection fan helps to bake these cookies evenly and quickly.

Steps
1. Cream Butter and Sugars

2. Add Egg
With the mixer running, add the egg and beat until combined.
3. Add Molasses and Fresh Ginger
Turn off the mixer, add the molasses and grated fresh ginger. Beat on medium speed until evenly combined.
4. Whisk Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, white pepper, and salt.
5. Add Dry Ingredients
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Continue to beat until evenly combined.
6. Add Crystallized Ginger
Turn off the mixer, add the crystallized ginger, then beat on low until combined.
7. Chill
Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
