Soft Ginger Sugar Cookies image

These cookies really do stay soft! They are rolled in sugar and the tops crack while baking. I often double the recipe because they go so fast. I think this recipe came from Canadian Living magazine.

Time 20m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat butter 30 seconds, until soft.
  • Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
  • Add egg and molasses and beat well.
  • Add 1/2 the flour mixture and stir in, then stir in the rest of the flour mixture.
  • The dough should be at a consistency that you can roll it with your hands into balls. I often have to add quite a bit more flour.
  • Roll into 1 inch balls, then roll the balls in sugar.
  • Place cookes 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-11 minutes. Do not brown! The cookies should be almost underbaked in the middle.
  • Let, cool 2 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack. Store in cookie tins.
