I did not post anything, when I promised I would.
Does this mean I haven't been baking? Of course not. I've been baking tons. I just haven't posted anything.
So, now I'm posting. When I look at blogs to get baking ideas I almost ALWAYS pick the ones with pictures. I have no pictures of these cookies, but I PROMISE they are delicious. I make these cookies more than any others for a few reasons:
1. They're easy.
2. They make a lot. (If you roll the balls small)
3. I LOVE GINGER.
So without further ado these ginger snaps are altered from this recipe.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
1 cup sugar (plus more for rolling the cookies in)
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 heaping tablespoons ginger
2 heaping teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 325 (I almost ALWAYS forget this step.)
Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses, mixing well. Combine all the dry ingredients and then add to creamed mixture making sure everything gets mixed in well. Make into small balls...and I mean small. I get about 72 cookies out of this recipe. Less than a tablespoon, maybe about the size of a medium-largish grape. You'll figure out what you like. I like them smaller because you can eat 4 cookies and not feel like a pig, also there's more to share! Roll the cookies in sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-12 minutes. 9 seems to be the perfect amount of time for my oven.
ENJOY! These are delicious with a cup of tea.
