     Title: Gingerbread Latte Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Herbs
     Yield: 18 servings

MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
   1/4 c  (168 g) unsalted butter
   1/4 c  (22 g) espresso powder
     1 tb (17 g) fine grated fresh
          - ginger
     2 ts Ground ginger
     1 ts Ground cinnamon
   1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
   1/4 ts Ground clove
   1/2 c  (100 g) granulated sugar
   1/2 c  (107 g) dark brown sugar;
          - packed
   1/4 c  (80 g) unsulphured molasses
     1 ts Kosher salt
     1 lg Egg
     2 ts Vanilla extract
     1 ts Baking soda
     2 c  (252 g) A-P flour

MMMMM--------------------------COATING-------------------------------
   1/4 c  (50 g) granulated sugar
     2 ts Espresso powder
   1/2 ts Ground ginger

 Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium. When
 it begins to bubble and get foamy, remove from the heat
 and whisk in the espresso powder, fresh ginger, ground
 ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Scrape the butter
 mixture into a medium mixing bowl and set aside to cool
 for about 5 minutes.

 Add the sugars, molasses and salt to the bowl and whisk
 vigorously to combine. Add the egg, vanilla and baking
 soda and continue whisking until the mixture appears
 smooth and it's the consistency of thin pancake batter,
 about 2 minutes. Add the flour and mix until evenly
 incorporated. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2
 hours and up to 2 days before baking.

 Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC, with racks on the lower and
 upper thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
 Prepare the coating by combining the granulated sugar,
 espresso powder and ground ginger in a small bowl.

 Using a 2-tablespoon (1 ounce) scoop, scoop the dough
 and, using your hands, roll into walnut-size balls.
 (Alternatively, for each cookie, use a tablespoon
 measure to scoop 2 tablespoons dough and roll them into
 a ball.) Toss in the sugar mixture to coat.

 Place the portioned dough 2" apart on the prepared
 baking sheets and bake, rotating the sheets on the racks
 halfway through, until the cookies have spread slightly
 and appear craggy on the surface, about 10 minutes.
 Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes, then
 transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cookies
 will flatten once cooled.) These cookies keep in an
 airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days
 (if they last that long).
