Gingersnap Cookies
This easy gingersnap recipe makes thin and crispy delicious cookies and are perfect to add to the holiday baking list! These gingersnap cookies are so good with hot tea or coffee anytime of the year, but especially in the fall and winter months since they are packed full of warm spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Feel free to add more or less of the spices in this recipe or you can use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger to really amplify the ginger flavor in these gingersnap cookies. Cardamom and allspice are also great options to use if you are out of any of these ground spices or do not like the flavor of them. Store these gingersnap cookies for up to one week at room temperature or freeze for one month.
Directions
1. Add unsalted room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar to a bowl of a hand or stand mixer and mix together until combined. Add one large egg
and unsulfured molasses. Make sure to use plain and unsulfured molasses and not black strap molasses as black strap molasses has a very bitter taste.
2. Add baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground ginger and mix together until combined. You can also use freshly grated ginger in this recipe instead of ground ginger, which will really bring out the ginger taste. Cardamom and Allspice are also great options to use in Gingersnap cookies.
3. Add the all-purpose flour and only mix until combined making sure not to over mix the dough. Only mix until the flour is combined as over mixing the dough will cause the dough to develop gluten, which will result in very flat and dense cookies. Scrape down the bowl as needed making sure anything stuck on the sides and bottom gets incorporated into the dough. Using a spatula or your hand mixer, give the dough a quick mix to make sure everything is mixed together.
4. In a small bowl, add granulated sugar or sanding sugar, and using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop the dough into balls. Roll the dough in the granulated sugar or sanding sugar until completely covered.
5. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough room in between to allow them to spread. Place the tray in a 350 ° Fahrenheit preheated oven for around 10 minutes or until they start to turn a light brown around the edges and the tops start to crack. Store these cookies out at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to one month.
Ingredients
12 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature (1-1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup unsulphered molasses (Grandma's Molasses brand)
1 large egg
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger (or freshly grated ginger)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Sugar Topping
1/2 cup granulated sugar or sanding sugar
Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn a nice golden brown or the tops of the cookies start to crack.

Ingredients
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 & 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup (1 & 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/3 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark * see notes
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsulphered molasses
More granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Whisk together to combine. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together until the sugars are fully dissolved in the butter and the mixture is slightly fluffy (about 2 minutes with electric beaters on medium speed or 5 minutes by hand).
Whisk the egg into the butter sugar mix until just combined. Add the molasses, and beat all the ingredients together until fully incorporated and smooth. Add the dry ingredients in about 2 to 3 additions, mixing well after each addition, until you no longer see any dry spots of flour. Cover the dough and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, and set aside.
Uncover the chilled cookie dough. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll into a ball with your hands. Roll the ball of dough in more granulated sugar and position on the prepared baking sheet (leave about 1 inch between each cookie to let it expand). Repeat until all of the dough is used up.
Bake in the center of your preheated 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies have spread out and appear dry on the surface. The tops should also crackle slightly. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

BEST EVER GINGER MOLASSES COOKIES (BETTER THAN STARBUCKS!)
Ingredients
* 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
* 2 cups white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup molasses
* 4 cups all purpose flour
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 4 tsp baking soda
* 2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1 tsp grated fresh ginger or powdered ginger
* 1/2 tsp ground cloves
* 1/3 cup white sugar for rolling
Instructions
* Add the butter to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter on medium high speed until it is soft and creamy and the colour begins to turn pale (use a hand mixer if you wish).
* Add the sugar and beat on medium high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times.
* Beat in the eggs on medium high speed one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
* Beat in the molasses and scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.
* In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, grated ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Whisk these ingredients together to they're combined and dump the mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer with the butter mixture.
* Combine the butter mixture and the dry ingredients on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. You'll have to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to make sure everything is incorporated.
* Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for one hour.
* After one hour has passed, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
* Remove the dough from the fridge and shape it into about 36 balls with your hands, rolling each ball of dough in the white sugar and placing it on a baking sheet prepared with some parchment paper. Remember to space the cookies out appropriately...this recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies so you'll likely need to bake 3 or more sheets of cookies.
* Bake each sheet of cookies for 10-11 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
* When you remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until they've cooled almost completely. This will help them achieve that soft and chewy texture as they continue to bake on the inside even after they've been removed from the oven.
