The easiest way to do this is to scrape it with a spoon or the back of a table knife. Grate the juicy flesh, but stop when it gets too stringy.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have fresh ginger, ground ginger is a perfectly acceptable substitute.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t like to use shortening either, but in this case I make an exception. You can use all butter, but the cookies will flatten out more.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you thoroughly chill the dough before rolling, and use plenty of flour (I dump flour on a piece of parchment) for rolling.<\/li>\n<li>Hate to roll out dough? \u00a0You can use a large cookie scoop instead, though the\u00a0resulting cookies\u00a0might not be quite as pretty.<\/li>\n<li>When you cut the cookies out, plan your cookie cutter placement with engineering precision &#8211; then move the scraps to a separate pile as you work. When the &#8220;first run&#8221; cookies are cut out, roll all of the scraps at once. Each time you roll out the dough, the cookies will get a little drier&#8230;and you don&#8217;t want that! (Though extra glaze can hide any flaws.)<\/li>\n<li>If possible, treat the dough like biscuit dough &#8211; lift the cookie cutter straight up instead of twisting it. This will make it easier for the cookies to puff up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/my-big-fat-molasses-buttermilk-cookies-1000x288.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">My Big, Fat, Molasses Buttermilk Cookies!<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup (1 1\/2 sticks) butter, softened<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup shortening<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups packed brown sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 heaping tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated (or add 1 teaspoon ground ginger with dry ingredients)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup molasses<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup heavy buttermilk (I use Bulgarian)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4 teaspoons baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">7 cups all purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (more to taste)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon ground cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">GLAZE:<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 1\/2 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tablespoons meringue powder (optional &#8211; makes a more brittle icing)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water (3-4 tablespoons)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and ginger well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a medium bowl (mixture will expand) combine molasses and buttermilk, mixing until completely blended.
