These are without a doubt the BEST Gingersnap Cookies I have ever tasted. I have made them for years, and open hands are always waiting when they come out of the oven! They are YUMMY!
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature shopping list
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar (have used light brown) shopping list
- 1 cup granulated white sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup molasses (I use Grandma's) shopping list
- 1 large egg shopping list
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 teaspoons baking soda shopping list
- 2 * tablespoons* ground ginger (yes, tablespoons :) ) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- Pinch ground cloves shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- NOTE: Have made these in a food processor shopping list
How to make it
- In large mixing bowl, with mixer cream softened butter, brown and white sugars, molasses, vanilla
- When mixed well, add egg, beat until smooth
- In medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, salt, cloves
- Set mixer at lowest speed
- Add whisked dry ingredients
- Mix well
- I use a level cookie scoop, or generous tablespoons and scoop dough onto a cookie sheet (I use cookie sheet with air for these)
- I mound 3 rows of 3, without crowding
- You can use parchment paper (I have, but don't always use it) It is just quicker if you are in a big hurry
- Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes
- Cookies will first plump up as they spread, but then will deflate and become flat, and once this happens, they are done
- NOTE: I sometimes open the oven door, once they plump up, and gently tap them with the bottom of a fork. Then close oven door, and continue cooking. These cookies look crackled like a map when done. I gently remove them from cookie sheet with metal spatula and place them on wire rack to cool.
- THEY ARE DELICIOUS!! ENJOY.
