Hot and Spicy Gingersnaps image

Cayenne gives it that KICK... not too spicy, but just enough to make it have a little bite.

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal® All-Purpose Flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon (or more) ground ginger 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar and beat until blended. Blend in the molasses. Add egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time and beat until blended after each addition.
  • Spread 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar on a small plate. Shape the dough into 3/4-inch balls and roll in the sugar until lightly coated. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with baking parchment.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until brown. Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
