THE BEST SOFT GINGER COOKIES

I adore these cookies! I found the recipe in a cute cookbook called "365 quick and inexpensive dinner menus". Everyone (even those who say 'I don't like ginger cookies') loves these!

Time 1h45m

Yield 24-30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup shortening, creamed
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Combine shortening, sugar, molasses and egg and beat throughly.

  • Gradually add flour mixture to shortening mixture.
  • Cover and chill for 1 hour.
  • Roll into 1 inch bals and roll in granulated sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate the ginger finely before using.
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the puffs tough.
  • Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not crowd the puffs.
  • Bake the puffs for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the puffs cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Soft ginger puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a delicate ginger flavor. These puffs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
