Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
sugar
PUMPKIN DIP
4 c confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 pkg (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
30 oz can pumpkin pie filling mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp pumpkin pie spices

Steps:

  • 1. Gingersnap Cookies: Cream together butter and brown sugar.
  • 2. Stir in molasses and egg until well blended.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • 4. Add to molasses mixture.
  • 5. Roll into 1" balls and roll balls in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 350 degrees, for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely before removing from cookie sheets.
  • 6. Pumpkin Dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and cream cheese, beating until well blended. Beat in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate and store in an airtight container. Serve with gingersnap cookies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your dip a more vibrant taste.
  • Don't overcook the ginger. Overcooked ginger can be bitter, so be careful not to let it cook for too long.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand that is smooth and creamy.
  • Add some citrus. A little bit of lemon juice or orange zest can brighten up the flavor of the dip.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Gingersnap dip is great with gingersnaps, but you can also serve it with other dippers like graham crackers, fruit, or pretzels.

Conclusion:

Gingersnap dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover gingersnaps, and it's always a hit with guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give gingersnap dip a try!
