Time 25m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup molasses
4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
1 cup white sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs, and then the molasses. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, heaping the measures if you like a lot of spice. Stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture just until blended.
  • Roll the dough into small balls, and dip the top of each ball into the remaining white sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are cracked. Bake longer for crispy cookies, less time for chewy cookies. Cool on wire racks.

I love the crispy texture of these cookies. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.

My grandma used to make these cookies every year for Christmas. I love that I can now make them myself and carry on the tradition.

I've never been a big fan of ginger snaps, but these ones changed my mind. They're perfectly spiced and have just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies are a great way to warm up on a cold day. The ginger flavor is really strong, and the molasses gives them a nice chewy texture. I'd definitely recommend them.

I've tried many ginger snap recipes, but this one is by far the best. The flavor is incredibly rich and complex, and the texture is spot-on. I'm definitely going to keep this recipe in my rotation.

These cookies turned out amazing! I love the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like I like them. I'll definitely be making these again.
