CRISP, SPICY AND HEALTHY GINGERSNAPS!



Crisp, Spicy and Healthy Gingersnaps! image

I made up this recipe from a compilation of recipes that I found-all trying to come to a final product that resembled the old-fashioned gingersnaps that come in a brown-colored bag and I love so much... Super spicy, crisp and crunchy, these are a real treat but not a guilty treat! Unlike most recipes for gingersnaps that call for butter, this stays true to the old fashioned recipe that only uses oil. I also use Splenda for half the sugar (that halves the guilt too(-;) Enjoy!

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS



INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS image

Categories     Cookies     Avocado

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Cardamom
Nutmeg
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
2 or 3 cookie sheets or jelly roll pans covered with parchment or foil

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 the smaller bowl; stir well to mix. In larger bowl, 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. Refrigerate dough long enough to make it workable. Then 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--optional step). 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 12 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your gingersnaps.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them crisp up and develop a nice chewy texture.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked gingersnaps will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their crisp texture.

Conclusion:

Gingersnaps are a classic holiday cookie that is easy to make and always a hit. By following these tips, you can make sure your gingersnaps turn out perfectly crisp and delicious. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
