Sweet Winnie's Gingersnap Cookies image

My dear neighbor Winnie loves to bake us cookies. My family LOVES gingersnaps and she brought a batch over. She clipped this recipe out of a magazine many years ago. These are delicious. Nice and crispy! Now I realize there many gingersnap cookie recipes posted but this is for my safekeeping. YUM!

Time 32m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup molasses
2 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup sugar, for uncooked rolling dough balls in before baking

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Combine butter, sugar and egg; mix until creamy. Stir in molasses until well incorporated. This can all be done in a stand mixer.
  • Combine & whisk together dry ingredients EXCEPT sugar for rolling. Mix remaining dry ingredients. Mix into molasses & butter mixture until well combined.
  • Scoop & roll dough into balls, 3/4" to 1" thick. Depending on the size ball you roll, the baking time will vary. I use a cookie scoop, roll in the palms of my hand then roll again in sugar.
  • Place about 2" apart on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheets.
  • Bake 12 minutes: for a softer center & crisp edges.
  • Bake 14-15 minutes for a crunchy & snappier cookie.
  • I like them both ways!
