Description

A small cookie bursting with flavor. Great at Christmas or any time of the year.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Butter Or Margarine, Softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¼ cups Molasses
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • Additional Sugar For Sprinkling

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses and beat well. Stir together dry ingredients, and gradually add to creamed mixture. Mix well, then chill the dough.

Preheat oven to 350º. Roll dough into 1-1/4″ balls and dip into sugar. Place 2″ apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until set and surface cracks. Cool on wire racks. Makes 3 – 4 dozen cookies.

Are you using margarine instead of butter? That will definitely make a difference in how flat cookies turn out.

I agree with momma on this one. Great cookies but they are definitely flat.

I’ve made these twice, and while the flavor is good, the texture doesn’t seem to be working. They’re spreading out very flat. I checked my soda, that’s good. I checked my oven temp and adjusted accordingly… But they don’t seem to be coming out as pretty as yours. They taste good though I think next time I’ll try a little more flour and see what that does…

Last year I made ginger snap cookies (from a box) and used them with my homemade pumpkin ice-cream to make ice-cream sandwiches. This recipe looks perfect as I want to make home-made cookies this year. Thanks for posting it. Can’t wait to give it shot.

Adding to my list of must try recipes. I have a wonderful pumpkin dip I always serve store bought ginger snaps with….these will be much better.
