Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger, or more

to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

8 tablespoons (1 stick) cool unsalted

butter, cut into pieces

1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra

for rolling

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup molasses (not blackstrap)

1/4 cup egg whites (from about 2 eggs)

Directions

Combine the flour, baking soda, and spices in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy in a mixer fitted with a paddle

attachment (or using a hand mixer). Add the sugars and mix. Add the molasses and mix.

Add the egg whites in 2 batches, mixing to combine after each addition. Add the dry ingredients

in 3 batches, mixing to combine after each addition.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place some granulated sugar on a small plate.

Roll the dough into 3/4-inch balls, then roll each ball in the sugar until lightly coated.

Transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between the cookies.

Bake until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

Yield: 60 cookies

I don't always use Parchment, but watch it CLOSELY! DO NOT OVERBAKE. Rather you use the Parchment than over do it.

I love spicy gingersnaps! I haven't tried THIS recipe yet, but I've made some that used black pepper instead of the cayenne.

P.S. Are these cookies supposed to be soft or crisp?
