    Triple-Ginger Cookies-
    A combination of ground, crystallized, and fresh ginger gives these soft, chewy cookies their intense flavor.

    Ingredients
    2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
    1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
    1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
    1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
    1 large egg, room temperature
    1/4 cup light (mild-flavored) molasses
    1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh peeled ginger
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/3 cup (about) sugar

    Preparation
    Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, crystallized ginger, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until creamy and light, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in both brown sugars. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, molasses, fresh ginger, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Beat to blend. Add flour mixture in 2 additions, beating on low speed just to blend between additions.

    Place 1/3 cup sugar in small bowl. Measure 1 tablespoon dough. Roll into ball between palms of hands, then roll in sugar in bowl to coat; place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookie dough, spacing cookies 1 1/2 to less

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
