Snappy Gingersnaps Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; set aside. In another large bowl, cream together shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add egg and molasses and mix well. Gradually stir in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in crystallized ginger, if using. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar and place on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake 8-9 mins. or until cookies are set and the tops are cracked (see note). Cool a few mins. on baking sheet. Remove cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Note: The above bake time results in a soft, chewy cookie, just the way we like 'em! If you prefer crisp, crunchy cookies, bake longer. Recipe is easily doubled and the cookies freeze well.

    Love ginger! can't find a good gingersnap cookie in the store. And also love soft molasses cookies. This is definitely on my must make list. Even I will be the only one eating the whole batch! YUM!
