Pepperidge Farm Gingerman Copycats, Revised image

I got this recipe on here as #97692. I love these cookies and have made them quite a few times since then. Here's the recipe & instructions revised a bit for making the job easier. This can also be made using splenda for baking to cut down on sugar intake and works extremely well.

Time 1h10m

Yield 36-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup molasses
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour (although if you want to make cookie cutter shapes, have an extra cup on hand)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
red sugar crystals (optional) or powdered sugar, to decorate. (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Cream together sugars, shortening, molasses, eggs, and vanilla & beat with a mixer until smooth & uniform.
  • Add remaining dry ingredients (except decoration items), scraping the bowl as you go.
  • If you choose to make round drop cookies, use the batter as is and scoop out with a TBSP cookie scoop onto greased pan, about 2-3 inches apart.
  • If you want to make cookie cutter shapes, add extra flour to the bowl 1/4 cup at a time until dough is stiff and clears the side of the bowl. Roll out on a heavily floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Roll out to approximately 1/4 inch thick & cut with the cutters. Then place onto greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes. (These bake best with only one or two sheets in at a time. If you are making a lot, use two "shifts" of two cookies sheets.).
  • Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. This will prevent the bottom of your cookies from sinking through the spaces in the rack.
  • Sprinkle with decorative sugar while still slightly warm.
