Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2/3 cup superfine sugar
2 eggs, separated
2/3 cup reduced fat buttermilk
1/2 tablespoon blood orange zest
1/2 tablespoon ruby grapefruit zest
1 tablespoon blood orange juice
1 tablespoon ruby grapefruit juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 round ginger snap cookies
pinch of salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg white
1/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter
A double pinch of Kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (approximately 6-ounce size). In a mixer, combine yolks, buttermilk, juice and zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add sifted flour, sugar and salt until just combined. Beat egg whites with a whisk attachment until you get stiff peaks then combine the two mixtures by gently folding them together, a little at a time. Divide evenly amongst ramekins then bake in a water bath - set ramekins in a roasting tray and fill with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake in the oven for 60 minutes until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice light golden color. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully invert onto a plate.
  • Break up cookies into pieces and place in food processor. Pulse until you have a fine crumb, then add butter, salt, molasses, sugar and egg white. Pulse again until you have a smooth batter, then use an off-set spatula to smear out a thin layer on a cookie sheet (if you are not using a non-stick tray, grease it with butter or line with a silpat). Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray to cool on the bench top. Break up into individual sized pieces before serving.
  • Yield: make aprox 10 pieces
  • Add sugar, and butter to a sauce pot and set over medium heat. Reduce until thick and syrupy - about 7 minutes then remove from heat. Add cream (be careful as it will bubble up) then stir and season with salt.

TIPPER GORE'S GINGER SNAPS



Tipper Gore's Ginger Snaps image

Contests pitting the baking ability of potential first ladies against each other began in 1992 when Hillary Rodham Clinton got everyone shaking and baking with her infamous cookie comment, discussing working as a lawyer while her husband was governor of Arkansas. ''I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas,'' she said. Her remark created a reactionary cookie contest, the brainchild of Family Circle magazine, which published her chocolate chip recipe and one from Barbara Bush. In 2000, this recipe went up against Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies.

SNAPPY GINGERSNAPS



Snappy Gingersnaps image

Another wonderful recipe from Emily Luchetti. I GUARANTEE these are the best gingersnaps you will ever taste. These cookies are a staple around here at Christmas. My Pastor begs me for a batch every year. I like to make the dough and freeze in logs, the slice and bake them when I need them.

Provided by P48422

Categories     Dessert

Time 28m

Yield 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temp
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • On your mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
  • Add the egg and the molasses and beat until incorporated.
  • Scrape down the bowl, then add the remaining ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is combined.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Using about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, roll into balls and place them 2 inches apart on parchment lined pans.
  • Bake until flat and evenly browned, about 13 minutes.
  • Cool on the pan, the remove to a rack to finish cooling.
  • These cookies are best the day they are baked, but will keep for several days.
  • Note: You can make the dough ahead, roll into logs, freeze, then slice and bake when you need them.
  • That's how I make them.
  • Note #2: You can also dip these in chocolate, just half-way up the cookie, to dress them up.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cookies a more pronounced ginger snap.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container: The cookies will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Citrus ginger ginger snaps are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and full of flavor. The combination of citrus and ginger gives these cookies a unique and refreshing taste. Whether you are looking for a snack, a dessert, or a gift, citrus ginger ginger snaps are sure to please everyone.
