Add egg to cooled molasses mixture and stir to combine. Slowly stir into reserved dry ingredients, then stir in apricots and crystallized ginger. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, place turbinado sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape dough into half-inch balls, then roll in turbinado sugar. Place cookies on two parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
