INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS



Incredibly Crisp Gingersnaps image

In 1998, I was invited by Pat Adrian, director of the Good Cook division of the Book of the Month Club, to judge the group's annual office baking contest. There were luscious cakes, pies and cookies of all types, but these gingersnaps were the hands-down winners. Julie Ellis-Clayton, the winner of the contest, was kind enough to share her recipe with me.

Time 55m

Yield about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl, for finishing

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

GINGERSNAPS



Gingersnaps image

You can enjoy these cookies on their own or crumble them up to make the Gingersnap Pie Crust recipe from "The Craft of Baking," by pastry chef Karen Demasco.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Holidays & Events     Christmas Recipes

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together granulated sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, molasses, and ginger until combined. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated.
  • Form dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place Demerara sugar in a shallow dish and roll each ball of dough in sugar to coat. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
  • Bake, until dark golden brown, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect chewy texture, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a cakey brownie instead of a chewy one.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't skimp on the ginger. The ginger is what gives these brownies their unique flavor, so be sure to use plenty of it.
  • If you don't have molasses, you can substitute honey or maple syrup.
  • These brownies are best when slightly underbaked. The center should be slightly gooey.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Ginger snap brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're chewy, chocolatey, and full of ginger flavor. Plus, they're made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give these ginger snap brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
