Time 30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
¼ cup dark molasses
⅓ cup cinnamon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time into another bowl.
  • Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container.

GINGERSNAP COOKIES

I was following my mother's recipe for ginger snaps and realized I had used the wrong ingredients right away, so rather than throwing it out and starting over, I made my own recipe, and they turned out even better. I just had to share my 'mistake' with you all because I can't believe how good these are. They turned out so delicious, moist, and chewy. I hope you enjoy them.

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!

Very tasty, and a healthier choice than most cookies as they are lower in fat and calories than a lot of the others. When you're watching your waistline or on a lowfat diet, that really counts! :)
