Stir in dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in crystallized ginger. Cover and chill 1 to 2 hr., until dough is firm.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into 48 balls, each a scant tablespoon. Roll in demerera sugar to coat and place on prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2-in. (5-cm) apart. One tray at a time, bake on middle rack of oven 8 to 10 min., until cookies are set around edges but still a little soft in the centre.Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
