These cookies were always my favorite after-school treat. I could hardly wait to get home for my snack of gingersnaps and a tall glass of milk. Whenever I think of that special snack, I recall the warmth of home filled with the spicy aroma of ginger! Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup dark molasses |
1 egg, beaten |
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter, sugars, molasses and egg. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-in. thickness and cut into desired shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 5-6 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Remove from pan to cool on wire racks. Yield: about 6 dozen (2-1/2 inch cookies).
