Miss Sylvia lived in the apartment below me back in the 70's when I was a newlywed. She shared so much of her live wisdom with me along with a few choice recipes. This one has been a favorite and receives the most "can I have that recipe?" requests ever. Hope you enjoy this crispy, snappy cookie. P.S. It makes a GREAT ice...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c sugar
3/4 c butter or shortening (or combo)
1 egg
4 Tbsp molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Cream sugar & butter and or shortening until light & fluffy. Add egg & molasses and continue beating till well incorporated.
  • 2. Sift all dry ingredients and add mixture to sugar mixture. Mix on low speed just until flour is incorporated, then turn mixer to high for just a few seconds (10 - 20) to make sure everything is mixed well.
  • 3. Use a half oz. cookie scoop (half oz. equals 1 tablespoon)to divide dough. When scooping use side of bowl to press dough into scoop. Scoop 12 at a time - roll rounded sides of dough in granulated sugar leaving flat side free of sugar. If you do not have a scoop, just use a spoon and roll dough into a ball. Make sure you leave part of the ball free from sugar. This makes sure there is no burned sugar on the finished cookie. Place dough flat side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Use a glass to flatten dough. If you use a glass that has a design or texture to it, that design will show slightly after baking. Bake cookies at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned at the edges and centers slightly under-baked. Remove cookies to cooling rack. Store in an air tight container. If you are making sandwich cookies, you may want to make a larger cookie. In that case baking time may vary.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cookies a more pronounced ginger snap.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will continue to harden as they cool. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:
