Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.

Step 1

Make dough: Beat butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar together until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add molasses and beat in until combined.

Step 3

Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add flour mixture on low speed, beating just until incorporated.

Step 5

Chill dough: Ginger cookie dough will be soft and thick - cover and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Use a large cookie scoop to form 2-inch balls of dough. Roll the balls in coarse sugar to coat.

Step 7

Place three inches apart, 6 balls of dough per baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake cookies for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until cookies are puffed and crackly, with edges set.
