When I posted on Facebook about these D-licious cookies that I make, the recipe was requested. I thought I'd share it here, because just about any sweet made with molasses and ginger falls into the Christmas category. So here it is:
Gingersnap Cookies
3/4 C Shortening
1 C brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 C molasses
2 1/4 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp gr. cloves
1/4 tsp salt
granulated sugar for rolling
*Mix shortening, brown sugar, egg, and molasses.
*Stir in dry ingredients.
*Shape into 1-1 1/2 inch balls and roll in sugar.
*Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet for about 8 minutes at 350'.
*Remove from cookie sheet immediately.
Usually these are perfect when they are just beginning to crack on the top. Don't overcook them! They are best when they are soft and chewy. Err on the side of underdone. We have a tradition in our family that we eat the first batch before the second one comes out of the oven. YUM!
