Description

This recipe makes 1 dozen soft and chewy gingersnap cookies.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Shortening
  • ½ cups Sugar (plus Extra For Rolling)
  • 1 whole Large Egg White
  • 2 Tablespoons Molasses (not Blackstrap)
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°. Have ready a shallow bowl filled with some sugar for rolling cookies in. In a medium bowl, beat together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg white and molasses and mix well. Dump the remaining ingredients on top and beat until just combined. Take large tablespoon-sized chunks of dough and roll into 1” balls. You should get 12-13 cookies. Roll each cookie in sugar. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be very soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

The best gingersnaps ever. I’ve made them about three times and given these as a gift twice. Perfect!
