Categories     Cookies     Ginger     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Quick & Easy

Yield 50-60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Ginger
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Salt
1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Cup Margarine, Melted
½ Cup Evaporated Milk
1 Cup Unsulfered Molasses
4 Cups Stone-Ground or Unbleached Flour, Unsifted

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Mix well. Add the melted margarine, evaporated milk, and molasses. Mix well. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly. The dough should be stiff enough to handle without sticking to fingers. Knead the dough for a smoother texture. Add up to ½ cup additional flour if needed to prevent sticking. When the dough is smooth, roll it out ¼ inch thick on a floured surface and cut it into cookies. Bake on floured or greased cookie sheets in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes. The cookies are done if they spring back when touched. You may roll the dough slightly thicker if you desire a taller cookie.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cakes are a bit more dense than I expected, but they're still very tasty. I think they would be even better with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

These cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These gingerbread cakes are a delightful treat! They have a wonderful balance of spices and a moist, tender crumb. I especially love the crunchy sugar topping.
