Time 1h53m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup unsulfured molasses

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper; set aside. In a large bowl, or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients. Divide the dough into thirds and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are crisp but not dark. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a fan of crystallized ginger, so I omitted it from this recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

I'm allergic to molasses, so I substituted honey in this recipe. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like gingersnap bars.

These gingersnaps are fantastic! They're perfectly crispy and chewy, with just the right amount of spice. I love the molasses flavor that comes through in each bite.
