Add dry ingredients to butter/sugar mixture and stir just until the flour disappears. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour 1/2 cup white sugar in a shallow dish for rolling cookies.
• Scoop out about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough with a small scoop or teaspoon. Form dough into balls and roll in white sugar. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten cookies to about 1/4 inch thick; sprinkle with a pinch more sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven until cookies are your desired crispiness or chewiness, 10 to 15 minutes.

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS

Steps:

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

MISS SYLVIA'S GINGER SNAP COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Cream sugar & butter and or shortening until light & fluffy. Add egg & molasses and continue beating till well incorporated.
• 2. Sift all dry ingredients and add mixture to sugar mixture. Mix on low speed just until flour is incorporated, then turn mixer to high for just a few seconds (10 - 20) to make sure everything is mixed well.
• 3. Use a half oz. cookie scoop (half oz. equals 1 tablespoon)to divide dough. When scooping use side of bowl to press dough into scoop. Scoop 12 at a time - roll rounded sides of dough in granulated sugar leaving flat side free of sugar. If you do not have a scoop, just use a spoon and roll dough into a ball. Make sure you leave part of the ball free from sugar. This makes sure there is no burned sugar on the finished cookie. Place dough flat side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Use a glass to flatten dough. If you use a glass that has a design or texture to it, that design will show slightly after baking. Bake cookies at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned at the edges and centers slightly under-baked. Remove cookies to cooling rack. Store in an air tight container. If you are making sandwich cookies, you may want to make a larger cookie. In that case baking time may vary.
