Directions:
- In a food processor (or blender), whirl chopped ginger and 1/3 cup sugar until ginger is finely ground. Pour from container.
- In the same container, whirl butter and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy.
- Add ginger mixture, molasses, and egg; whirl to mix.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whirl into butter mixture.
- Cover dough and chill until firm to the touch, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Shape dough into 1-in. balls and coat in remaining sugar (use a little more sugar if needed). Place balls 2 to 3 in. apart on nonstick or oiled baking sheets.
- Bake until slightly darker brown, 11 to 12 minutes, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to racks to cool.
- Make ahead: Up to 1 week, stored airtight at room temperature; frozen, up to 4 months.
