Yield Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup bacon fat (from 1 1/2 to 2 pounds bacon), at room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
1/4 cup molasses (not blackstrap) or cane syrup, such as Steen's or Lyle's
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until a smooth, stiff dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow bowl. Breaking off 1-tablespoon lumps, roll the dough into balls, drop into the sugar, roll to coat, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are dark brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. They're a bit different from traditional gingersnaps, but they're still delicious.

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less ginger next time.

These cookies are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. They're also really flavorful, thanks to the bacon fat.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more flour next time.

These cookies are a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less bacon fat next time.
