Time 2h

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water or milk
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and molasses until mixture is light and smooth. Add egg and water or milk, blending well. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, soda, salt and spices. With mixer at low speed, gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, beating just until combined. Remove, knead briefly with your hands, divide into two pieces and wrap both in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 4 cookie sheets with foil or parchment. Remove dough from refrigerator one package at a time, and cut in half. Let it soften slightly if it is not malleable.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Dip cookie cutters in flour, and make shapes. Place cookies 1-inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until set. Remove sheets from oven, and let stand for 1 minute. With a thin metal pancake turner, transfer cookies to cooling racks, and let cool completely before storing or frosting.
  • Store plain or frosted cookies in single layers, separated by sheets of waxed paper. Store at room temperature in metal tins or heavy-duty aluminum foil for up to a week.

These cookies were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cookies were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. The ginger flavor was very pronounced.

I've tried many ginger cookie recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. They're also really easy to make, so th
