The Best Ever Chewy Gingersnaps image

These gingersnaps are super easy and super tasty. I brought these to work for a cookie exchange and everyone raved about how wonderful they were. I found the original recipe in my daughter's 'Taste of Home' cookbook and it is definitely a keeper! I have made a few changes and added a few tips to guaranteed success. Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup additional sugar, for rolling cookies
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 -4 dashes allspice, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil.
  • Beat in eggs.
  • Stir in molasses.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients mixing well.
  • Place additional sugar in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Shape dough into 1 inches balls and roll into sugar.
  • Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool. Store the cookies in a covered container with a slice of bread. It sounds odd but the bread will keep the cookies soft and chewy.
