Ginger Snaps

Love these...I think you might too.
  • 3/4 cup butter 
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 2 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • extra sugar for rolling unbaked cookies in before baking
  1. Cream together butter and sugar.
  2. Add egg and molasses and beat well.
  3. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Roll into 1 1/2" balls.
  5. Roll balls in extra sugar, coating with sugar all the way around.
  6. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
  7. Bake at 350º for 13 minutes. 
  8. Allow to cool one minute on pan before removing to cooling rack. They will take on more of a crackle top this way and get slightly crispy. 
Yields 2 1/2 dozen large cookies. 
**You can make the balls smaller to get more cookies, but then adjust the baking time down to 10 minutes.**
