Classic Gingersnaps

14 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup bread flour (if you don't have bread flour, just use 1 cup plus 2 tbsp of all-purpose)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional, for an extra kick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp unsulphured molasses

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until well-blended and fluffy. Add the molasses and whisk again until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix gently until a dough forms.
  2. 2
    Turn the dough out onto saran wrap and fully wrap it. I lined a square dish with saran wrap and patted the dough into the dish so that it formed a square, which is easier to cut into even pieces to roll into balls for baking. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
  3. 3
    When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place at least two inches apart on parchment paper or greased foil. The cookies will spread, so give them room. For chewier cookies, bake for 10-12 minutes. For crisper, bake longer, about 13-14. I took mine out at 12 exactly and they had a bit of chew in the middle, with very crunchy edges.
