Delicious Ginger Snap Cookies Recipe for Your Next Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help remove lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth.

    Use a hand mixer for best results.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients

    Beat in the egg and molasses to the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.

    Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  6. Scoop Dough

    Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Space them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are crisp.

    Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
