INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Cream margarine, gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Beat in egg and molasses.
- Add dry ingredients and blend well.
- Form into small balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Flatten with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are slightly rounded, crackly and lightly browned.
Tips:
- Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are key to successful ginger snaps. Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements of ingredients like flour, sugar, and spices.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them from becoming too crispy.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking. Parchment paper also helps create a crispy bottom on the cookies.
- Bake Evenly: Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking to ensure even browning and crispiness throughout the cookies.
- Store Properly: Store cooled ginger snaps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Ginger snaps are a classic holiday treat that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their warm, spicy flavor and crispy texture, these cookies are perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee. Whether you follow the traditional recipe or experiment with different flavors and variations, these tips will help you create perfect ginger snaps every time.
