Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in the egg and molasses and mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the greased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden.

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy your delicious double ginger cookies with a cup of tea or coffee! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
