Oh YUM!
Here’s the one my friends/family always ask for every year:
Ginger Snaps
1 1/2 sticks room temperature butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 - 1 cup sugar on a plate.
Cream sugar/butter until light/fluffy (2-3 mins)
Add egg, molasses and vanilla - mix well
Gradually add dry ingredients- sifting as you add to combine until it forms sticky dough. Chill in icebox for about 20-30 mins.
When the dough has chilled roll into 1 inch balls and dip the balls into the sugar so they’re coated. Place them on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart and flatten with the bottom of a glass. (After awhile you may need to dip the bottom of the glass in sugar to keep the glass from sticking to dough as it gets warmer)
Bake at 350 for 12-15 mins- a little longer if you like them crisper.
Now- I use the spice measurements for a general rule. I make mine spicier by using 1-1/2 TBL cinnamon, 1 tsp cloves and 3-4 tsp ginger. You just have to decide what you like- my friends/family like em spicy! Add more or less to taste!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM....
