This gingersnap cookie recipe is the right amount of sweet, perfectly spiced and soft yet chewy.\u00a0 Gingersnap cookies are a wonderful treat to have on hand when your sweet tooth strikes. The secret to gingersnaps is nailing the texture, amount of molasses and spice. Luckily, following this gingersnap cookie recipe to a T will result in cookies with the perfect flavor and texture every single time. Oh, and be sure to serve these with a glass of milk or mug of mulled cider for a truly tasty combination.<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0<\/span><\/b>F<\/span>. Cream shortening and one cup of sugar until light and fluffy (about five to seven minutes). Beat in egg and molasses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a separate bowl, combine the next five ingredients and gradually add to the creamed mixture.\u00a0 Mix it well.<\/p>\n Shape level tablespoons of dough into balls and dip one side of each ball into the remaining sugar. Place each cookie two inches apart, sugary side up, on greased baking sheets.<\/p>\n Bake until lightly browned and crinkly, for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.<\/p>\n First, allow the cookies to cool completely. Then, transfer them to an airtight container and store them at room temperature. (Storing them in the fridge will dry them out.)<\/p>\n Absolutely. You can opt to either freeze the cookies or the dough. If freezing the cookies, arrange them on a baking sheet, freeze for a few hours and transfer them to zip-loc baggies. You can then freeze them for up to one month. To freeze the dough, arrange it on a baking sheet, cover and freeze for a few hours. Then, transfer the dough to baggies and keep them in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n Gingersnap cookies are made for dunking. Whether it’s milk, coffee or tea, be sure to serve these cookies with a beverage they can be dunked into.<\/p>\n Measure your flour correctly and know your oven’s baking settings. Though the bake times listed in this recipe (12 to 15 minutes) are accurate, all ovens vary and the pan type makes a difference, too.<\/p>\n Yes, if you over-bake these cookies their texture won’t be soft and chewy. Try baking one or two cookies to see how they turn out if you’re unsure about your oven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My grandma kept two cookie jars in her pantry.
