Yield Makes 14 cookie cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, (1 stick)
1/3 cup molasses
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons Cognac

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, butter, molasses, zest, ginger, and cinnamon over medium heat. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Whisk in flour. Add cognac, and whisk until smooth.
  • Drop batter, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat baking mat. Prepare only 2 cookies at a time, as they harden quickly once removed from the oven and are difficult to shape.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Get several custard cups, about 3 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches deep, at the ready for molding. Remove snaps from oven, and let cool for 3 minutes. Run a thin spatula all around the perimeter of one snap at a time to loosen the bottom completely. Quickly place the snap, flat side up, over the bottom of a custard cup. Let cool. (If the snap becomes hard before removing from baking sheet, return briefly to the oven.) Repeat with remaining snaps.

These are a bit more time-consuming to make than some other desserts, but they're definitely worth the effort.

I'm not a big fan of brandy, but I still enjoyed these cups. The filling is so good that it makes up for the brandy flavor.

I used a different type of brandy than the one specified in the recipe and the cups still turned out great. The flavor was slightly different, but still very enjoyable.
