Time 30m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cool unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup molasses (not blackstrap)
1/4 cup egg whites (from about 2 eggs)

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.

Just made these gingersnaps and they're delicious! The cayenne pepper gives them a nice kick without being overpowering. I'll definitely be making these again.

Wow! These gingersnaps are the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. They're incredibly easy to make and turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. My whole family loved them!
