Here is yet another recipe. This cookie recipe the boys really don't enjoy because it has ginger in it. They aren't a fan of ginger. I got this recipe from a small little recipe book by Wilton. For this recipe you will need the following:
2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves; 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided; 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened; 1/4 cup molasses; 1 egg
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in medium bowl.
2. Beat 1 cup sugar and butter in large bowl with electric mixer ( I did this by hand) at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; beat until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture at low speed just until blended.
3. Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar in shallow bowl. Shape by 1/2 teaspoonfuls into balls; roll in sugar to coat. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. As you can see my balls are a little bigger since we like bigger cookies.
4. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until almost set. Cool cookies on cookie sheets 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
This is what the final product looks like. I couldn't keep Mike away from them as they were cooling.
I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Until next time enjoy your day.
