Ginger Cookies

By Carrie Floyd, from the Culinate Kitchen collection
Total Time 30 minutes

Introduction

Although I favor a chewier, gooier ginger cookie, and this one is more cakey, everyone I’ve made these for loves them.

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup molasses
cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. ginger
½ tsp. allspice
½ tsp. cloves
½ tsp. cinnamon

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream butter and brown sugar until smooth, then add eggs and molasses and mix until combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Stir them into the butter-egg mixture and beat until combined.
  4. Roll cookie dough into golf-ball-sized rounds. Place balls onto cookie sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies have spread. Cool on wire racks.

I love (love) ginger cookies - though I also tend to favor chewy rather than cakey or crispy. Maybe I’ll be converted when I try these :)

One tip for die hard ginger lovers - try adding a hit (about 2 tablespoons) of freshly grated ginger or diced up crystalized ginger to the batter. Yum!
