    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), beat together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla, and beat until well-combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    • 1 1/4 Cup Brown sugar

    • 1 Large Egg

    • 1 Tablespoon Dark molasses

    • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

    Add the flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt, and mix on low speed to incorporate. Try to roll a walnut-size ball between your palms. If the dough sticks to your hands and is too soft to roll, blend a bit more flour into the dough. Do not add too much, or your cookies will not spread properly and will toughen.

    • 1 3/4 Cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

    • 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • 1/2 Teaspoon ground ginger

    • 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher salt

    Roll the dough into balls, then give them a roll in a shallow bowl of coarse sugar. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, then flatten each ball with the bottom of a drinking glass.

    • As Needed Coarse sugar, for rolling

    Bake the cookies for 7 minutes. Tap the baking sheet on the grill grate (this encourages chewier cookies), then rotate the pan 180°. Continue baking for 5 to 7 minutes longer, or until the cookies are lightly browned.
