Making the most of my mid-week weekend, I decided to gather ingredients and make my first batch of Gingersnaps. Ever. Making the batter was pretty easy besides working with ooey gooey molasses! Rolling the gingery dough into little balls and around in cinnamon sugar was really fun tho, I even got the boyfriend helping! It's amazing how they come out in the perfect little circles after baking. They really are some of the cutest cookies around!
Here's my recipe!
You'll need:
Cookie Sheet
Mixer
2 Cups Flour, sifted
1 Tblsp Ground Ginger
2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/2 Tsp Salt
3/4 Cup Salted Butter
1 Cup White Sugar
1 Large Egg (beaten)
1/4 Molasses
1/3 Cup Cinnamon Sugar Mixture for rolling dough in
Directions:
Preheat Oven @ 350 degrees
Sift flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a bowl. Mix and Sift.
Add butter into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. beat in white sugar gradually, add beaten egg and mix in molasses. Stir and Blend in the flour mixture 1/3 at a time.
Grab small amount of dough and roll in your hands into 1 inch diameter balls. Roll each little ball around the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
Place on the non greased cookie sheet an inch apart from each other.
Bake for 10-13 minutes and place on a wire rack to cool.
