I love to make these when Fall arrives. These gingersnap cookies are delicious and they will make your home smell amazing!
Gingersnap Cookies
Makes 45 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- Sugar for rolling the cookies in
Directions
Heat oven to 375F. Line a cookie sheet with a non-stick liner (I use Silpats).
In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and shortening together until well combined.
Add the molasses and mix.
Add the egg and mix.
Add the flour mixture a cup or so at a time and mix until combined.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar and place approximately 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the tops crack.
Cool on cookie sheet for a minute (they are soft).
Transfer gently to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
