Tooth-Splitting Gingernuts image

Tooth shatteringly hard cookies with a hint of ginger. Eating them with strong coffee reminds me of the steamy night markets of Morocco.

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons molasses
2 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, egg, and molasses until smooth. Combine the flour and ginger; stir into the molasses mixture until well blended. Drop large teaspoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on the top shelf of your oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 280 degrees F (137 degrees C). Allow the cookies to cool, then return them to a warm oven for 10 more minutes to dry out and become crispy.
