Time 1h53m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup unsulfured molasses

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper; set aside. In a large bowl, or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients. Divide the dough into thirds and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are crisp but not dark. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired.

I'm not a big fan of gingersnaps, but I actually really liked these. They're not too sweet and they have a great texture.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these cookies for a Christmas party and they were a huge disappointment. They were dry and crumbly and they didn't have much flavor.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a little too spicy for my taste. I'll probably use less ginger next time.
