Soft Gingersnap Cookies image

These are the best Gingersnap recipe I've ever made. They stay soft and chewy if baked for the minimal amount of time specified in the recipe directions. The original source stated they'll stay fresh for 5 days if stored in an airtight container. I've never had them last long enough to know if that's true, because they go so...

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup molasses
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup granulated white sugar, for rolling (amount is approximate)

Steps:

  • 1. Using electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and molasses, and beat until thoroughly combined.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, clovers and nutmeg. Add flour mixture to butter-sugar mixture, and beat until combined. Cover bowl, and chill 2 hours.
  • 3. Roll dough into 1½-inch balls (about 1½ Tbsp each). Roll dough balls in sugar, flatten balls slightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 5. Bake cookies 8 to 9 minutes for a soft cookie. Or, bake 10 to 12 minutes for a crispier cookie. (They might seem underbaked, but they'll be soft and chewy once they've cooled.)
  • 6. Cool with cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They'll stay fresh for about 5 days if stored in an airtight container.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best gingersnaps he's ever had.
