Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put margarine, brown sugar, molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, clove, and ginger into mixing bowl and mix.
  • Roll into walnut size balls.
  • Put about 1/2 cup of regular sugar in cereal size bowl, and 1/2 cup water in ramekin size dish.
  • Roll dough ball in sugar.
  • Place wide apart on slightly greased cookie sheet; dip a glass into water and flatten the cookie.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, or until done to your family's preferences.
  • NOTE: If it is a dark cookie sheet it will take less time than on a brand new shiny sheet; and if they sit on the hot sheet after removing from oven they will harden even more. Some like these cookies hard but I do not.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: Rolling the dough out evenly helps to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These honey and molasses gingersnaps are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are chewy, flavorful, and have a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cookies at home. So grab a cup of your favorite holiday drink and enjoy a warm, delicious gingersnap cookie!
