INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH TRIPLE GINGER SNAPS
Steps:
- Have all ingredients at room temperature. Put rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. Whisk together first 8 ingredients in medium bowl and set aside. In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, molasses, lemon juice, zest, and fresh ginger and beat until well blended. Stir in flour mixture and crystallized ginger. Pull off pieces of dough and roll into generous 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheet, 1-1/2 inches apart, and pat to flatten slightly. Bake for 9 - 11 mins. until just firm when pressed gently and until lightly browned (hard to tell with brown dough, I realize). Halfway through baking time, turn cookie sheet (to compensate for uneven ovens)and bake only one sheet at a time. When done, pull sheet out of the oven and put onto rack until cookies cool slightly so that they're firm enough to transfer to cooling rack.
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.
EXTRA-SPICY GINGERSNAPS
Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and spices in a mixing bowl and set aside. Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer). Add the sugars and mix. Add the molasses and mix. Add the egg whites in 2 batches, mixing to combine after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, mixing to combine after each addition.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread a few tablespoons of granulated sugar on a small plate.
- Roll the dough into 3/4-inch balls, then roll each ball in the sugar until lightly coated. Transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between the cookies. Bake until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, or you may use ungreased cookie sheets.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves; stir into the batter until it forms a dough. The dough may seem a bit crumbly, but that is ok. Keep mixing and it will come together.
- Remove dough from the bowl, and knead for a few turns. Pat out into a square, and divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 12 inch long log. Place 3 logs onto each cookie sheet. Wet the tops of the logs with a little bit of water using your fingertips, then sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow the cookies to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice the bars diagonally into 1 inch pieces using a knife or pizza cutter. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. When completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

WHOLE GRAIN GINGER SNAPS
These whole grain ginger snaps have delicious rich flavors from fresh-milled red fife and rye flours. The increased fiber from the whole grain flours makes them more nutritious, while the textures of both the chewy and the crispy options are perfectly tender.

Steps:
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the wet ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and stir with a stiff spatula until well incorporated.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cover the dough and let the flours hydrate for about 20 minutes.
- Form dough balls of about one tablespoon size and roll them in the white sugar.
- Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets about two inches apart if you're making the chewy cookies and about four inches apart if you're making the crispy cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the center of the cookies no longer looks wet.
- Let the sheet cool for a couple of minutes and then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store the chewy cookies in a close container to maintain the softness. The crispy cookies can be stored however you prefer.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your snaps a more authentic taste.
- Grate the ginger finely. This will help the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the dough and give your snaps a more consistent flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your snaps tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the snaps to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the snaps at a low temperature. This will help the snaps to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Watch the snaps carefully while they are baking. The snaps will be done when they are golden brown around the edges.
Conclusion:
These industrial-strength triple ginger snaps are the perfect cookie for ginger lovers. They are packed with ginger flavor and have a nice chewy texture. They are also very easy to make, so you can enjoy them any time you have a craving for something sweet.
