To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook gingersnap cookies using 15 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Gingersnap Cookies:
- Prepare 2 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Take 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- Prepare 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Prepare 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- Prepare 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- Take 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Take 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Make ready 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Make ready 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Take 2/3 cup white sugar
- Prepare 1/3 cup finely minced candied ginger
- Get 1/4 cup molasses
- Take 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Get 1 large egg, beaten
- Get 1/2 white sugar, or as needed for rolling cookies
Steps to make Gingersnap Cookies:
- Whisk flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a large mixing bowl
- Cream the butter and 2/3 cup sugar together in a separate bowl until smooth, for about 2 minutes. Add the candied ginger, molasses, vanilla, and egg. Whisk until well blended.
- Add dry ingredients to butter/sugar mixture and mix just until the flour disappears. Cover dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour 1/2 cup sugar in a small shallow dish for rolling cookies.
- Form dough into 1 1/2 teaspoon balls, then roll in the sugar before placing on the lined baking sheet.
- Flatten the cookies to about 1/4 inch thick. (I like to cover the cookie with a small piece of parchment or plastic wrap and then flatten with the bottom of a 1/4 cup measuring cup. The plastic or paper helps keep the cookie from sticking to whatever you use to flatten it). I have also tried rolling out the dough 1/4 inch thick to cut out gingersnap people with a cookie cutter. Dough will soften up if you do this, so rechill as needed.
- Sprinkle cookies with a pinch of sugar before baking in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. (Less time for a chewier cookie, more time for a snappier cookie)
- Once cookies are cooled, you can decorate with icing if desired, but they really don’t need anything and are delicious on their own!
