Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking soda
1 TBSP. ground ginger ((powder))
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
Additional sugar
2 pkgs. ((12 oz. each) vanilla baking chips)
1/4 cup shortening ((Crisco))
2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tsp. warm water ((or more till glaze is slightly thin))
1 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and oil; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in molasses.
  • In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix this very well.
  • Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls (roll the dough between both hands to form a ball) and then roll the cookie ball in sugar (approx 1/3 cup, more or less) in a small bowl.
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie springs back when touched lightly. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
  • When completely cooled, you can either dip the cookies or drizzle a thin glaze over them...whatever you prefer. ENJOY!
  • For dipping: Melt the vanilla chips with shortening in a small pan over low heat. Dip the cookies half way into the mixture, shake or let the excess drip off. Place on waxed paper or foil-lined baking sheets to harden.
  • For drizzle-glazing: In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and warm water till you have a slightly thin glaze, adding more sugar to thicken or a touch more water to thin. Place cookies on foil to catch the glaze that might run off the cookies. Drizzle the glaze on top of cookies. Let harden.

GINGERSNAP COOKIES

I was following my mother's recipe for ginger snaps and realized I had used the wrong ingredients right away, so rather than throwing it out and starting over, I made my own recipe, and they turned out even better. I just had to share my 'mistake' with you all because I can't believe how good these are. They turned out so delicious, moist, and chewy. I hope you enjoy them.

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies achieve a chewy texture.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate ganache. This will help the ganache set properly and prevent it from running off the cookies.
  • For a thinner ganache, add more milk. For a thicker ganache, add less milk.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Conclusion:

These Dipped Gingersnap Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
