GINGERSNAP COOKIES



Gingersnap Cookies image

These triple-ginger gingersnap cookies strike a sweet balance between spice and sweet molasses with a crisp crunch.In the early days of commercial aviation, ginger cookies or "snaps" were often served during turbulence. I don't know if they work, but my version with ginger, cardamom, and cloves sure taste good.Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces molasses (by weight), about 4 tablespoons
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
4 ounces finely chopped candied ginger, about 3/4 cup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Cream the brown sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the molasses, egg, and fresh ginger, and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Lower the mixer speed to "stir," and add the candied ginger until just combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until well combined.
  • Using a 2-teaspoon-sized scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared half-sheet pans, approximately 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10 minutes for slightly chewy cookies or 12 minutes for crisper cookies, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
  • Remove from the oven and leave the cookies on the sheet pan for 30 seconds before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with all of the dough. You will use each pan approximately twice.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. If desired, you may scoop and freeze the cookie dough on a sheet pan and, once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag to store. Bake directly from the freezer, following the above procedure.

TRIPLE GINGER SNAP COOKIES WITH PECANS



Triple Ginger Snap Cookies with Pecans image

Categories     Cookies     Ginger     Side     Bake     Pecan     Chill     Raw     Boil

Yield makes 38 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

Scant 1/2 cup unrefined virgin coconut oil, melted
2/3 cup rapadura
2 tablespoons organic butter or unrefined virgin coconut oil
1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/3 cups barley flour
1 1/3 cups spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 organic egg
3/4 cup chopped raw pecans
3 tablespoons chopped uncrystallized candied ginger (see Rebecca's Notes)

Steps:

  • Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, with several inches overhanging on each side.
  • Combine the coconut oil, rapadura, butter, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Pour into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup and let cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk. Whisk the egg into the cooled oil mixture until well combined, then pour the oil mixture into the flour mixture and mix well using a rubber spatula. Stir in the pecans and candied ginger.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, fold the flaps of plastic wrap over the dough, and press gently into an even layer. Chill for at least 3 hours, and preferably overnight.
  • When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lift the dough from the pan, unwrap it, and cut it in half lengthwise. Rewrap one piece and return it to the fridge. Slice the other piece crosswise into very thin cookies, about the thickness of a graham cracker, and place on the prepared pans, leaving 1 inch between cookies. Bake one pan at a time for 7 to 9 minutes, until the edges begin to brown visibly. (If you have a convection oven, you can bake both pans of cookies at the same time.) Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • rebecca's notes
  • These cookies freeze beautifully, both in dough form and baked. If freezing the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Rapadura is an unrefined organic sugar from the first pressing of the sugarcane with a unique caramel taste. Look for Rapunzel brand rapadura in your grocery store or find it online at www.rapunzel.com. You can also use muscovado, which is very similar.
  • If you can't find uncrystallized candied ginger, use the crystallized version; just rinse and pat dry before chopping.
  • storage
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
