Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces molasses (by weight), about 4 tablespoons
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
4 ounces finely chopped candied ginger, about 3/4 cup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Cream the brown sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on low speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the molasses, egg, and fresh ginger, and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Lower the mixer speed to "stir," and add the candied ginger until just combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until well combined.
  • Using a 2-teaspoon-sized scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared half-sheet pans, approximately 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10 minutes for slightly chewy cookies or 12 minutes for crisper cookies, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
  • Remove from the oven and leave the cookies on the sheet pan for 30 seconds before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with all of the dough. You will use each pan approximately twice.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days. If desired, you may scoop and freeze the cookie dough on a sheet pan and, once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag to store. Bake directly from the freezer, following the above procedure.

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS



Incredibly Crisp Gingersnaps image

In 1998, I was invited by Pat Adrian, director of the Good Cook division of the Book of the Month Club, to judge the group's annual office baking contest. There were luscious cakes, pies and cookies of all types, but these gingersnaps were the hands-down winners. Julie Ellis-Clayton, the winner of the contest, was kind enough to share her recipe with me.

Time 55m

Yield about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl, for finishing

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for these cookies. If using ground ginger, increase the amount to 2 teaspoons.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they come out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
