Spicy Ginger Cookies image

These are our traditional Christmas cookies. The shortening keeps the cookies soft; all butter will result in a harder cookie.

Time 30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter-flavored shortening, melted
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup molasses
2 eggs
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup coarse sugar crystals, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk brown sugar, shortening, butter, molasses, eggs, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cloves, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl until glossy; fold in flour until dough is just-combined.
  • Pour coarse sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 48 balls. Roll balls in sugar and place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the cookies crack, about 9 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again though, because I really want to like these cookies.

I had some trouble finding crystallized ginger, but I used ground ginger instead and the cookies still turned out great.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover ginger. I always have some on hand and these cookies are a delicious way to use it up.
