Ah, gingersnaps. Who doesn't love the taste of sweet, spicy goodness nestled in a crunchy cookie?
So often, we find ourselves craving that perfect balance of traditional flavours Nan used to make.
Well, if you're looking to bring that classic charm into your kitchen for the next family gathering, we've got the perfect recipe for you. It's so delicious, it’ll have your grandkids begging for more!
Ready to get baking? Here's what you'll need! Please note: this recipe can produce about 36 cookies, so adjust the ingredients accordingly if you want to make a smaller batch.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
¾ cup/12 tbsps margarine
1 large egg
¼ cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Directions
First, preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Then, grab a bowl and mix together 1 cup of sugar and the margarine until smooth. Beat in the egg and molasses until it's blended evenly. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until it forms a dough.
Next, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Place these sugar-coated balls on an ungreased baking sheet, making sure to leave 2 inches between each one.
Then, bake the gingersnaps for 8 to 10 minutes. When they’re ready, slide the cookie sheet out of the oven, and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Voilà! Now your delicious gingersnaps are ready for you to serve. Members, why not give this classic recipe a try, long-treasured for generations? In no time, you can have these treats out on the table for family and friends to snack on. Enjoy!
