Gingersnap Cookies

This easy gingersnap recipe makes thin and crispy delicious cookies and is perfect to add to the holiday baking list! These gingersnap cookies are so good with hot tea or coffee anytime of the year, but especially in the fall and winter months since they are packed full of warm spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Feel free to add more or less of the spices in this recipe, or you can use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger to really amplify the ginger flavor in these gingersnap cookies. Cardamom and allspice are also great options to use if you are out of any of these ground spices or do not like the flavor of them. Store these gingersnap cookies for up to one week at room temperature or freeze for one month.
Directions
1. Add unsalted room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar to a bowl of a hand or stand mixer and mix together until combined. Add one large egg
and unsulfured molasses. Make sure to use plain and unsulfured molasses and not black strap molasses as black strap molasses have a very bitter taste.
2. Add baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground ginger and mix together until combined. You can also use freshly grated ginger in this recipe instead of ground ginger, which will really bring out the ginger taste. Cardamom and Allspice are also great options to use in Gingersnap cookies.
3. Add the all-purpose flour and only mix until combined, making sure not to over mix the dough. Only mix until the flour is combined as over mixing the dough will cause the dough to develop gluten, which will result in very flat and dense cookies. Scrape down the bowl as needed, making sure anything stuck on the sides and bottom gets incorporated into the dough. Using a spatula or your hand mixer, give the dough a quick mix to make sure everything is mixed together.
4. In a small bowl, add granulated sugar or sanding sugar, and using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop the dough into balls. Roll the dough in the granulated sugar or sanding sugar until completely covered.
5. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough room in between to allow them to spread. Place the tray in a 350 ° Fahrenheit preheated oven for around 10 minutes or until they start to turn a light brown around the edges, and the tops start to crack. Store these cookies out at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to one month.
Ingredients
12 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature (1-1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup unsulphered molasses (Grandma's Molasses brand)

1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger (or freshly grated ginger)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Sugar Topping
1/2 cup granulated sugar or sanding sugar
Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn a nice golden brown or the tops of the cookies start to crack.

Oh, I love thin and crispy cookies!! Soft chewy cookies are good too, but sometimes you just want a crisp cookie!! I love molasses in cookies, it gives it such a rich caramel flavor!! This looks great!! Thanks for this video, Kate!! 😀😀

[@MrsSoniaElaine]

Yummm!! These look so good. I had no idea they had different kinds of molasses. I always use the mother's molasses. Never used fresh ginger in baking. I'll have to try that. These look so good !!

[@Bake_That]

Thank you so much Sonia! It's really interesting how the different types of molasses really makes a difference!

[@TheLisaDeesDelightsShow]

I love all your cookie recipes. I've got too much of a sweet tooth.

[@Bake_That]

Thank you so much! Oh, me too!

[@LuxeProFoto]

Yum definitely making this. I wonder how this would taste as a cheese cake crust instead of Graham crackers. Might need to try it.

[@Bake_That]

You will have to let me know if you make them! A gingersnap cheesecake crust sounds AMAZING! Especially pumpkin with a pumpkin cheesecake 😍

[@WinDikaVlog]

*So yummy,Like *

[@tracyo6048]

Thank you for the recipe. I just have no clue how many cookies this makes to know if I should or shouldn't double them.

[@Bake_That]

Hi Tracy! Whenever I make these and roll the dough to the size that I show in the video, they make about 20- 24 cookies. You could always make them a little smaller if you need more cookies 😊

[@YesLuCan74]

Ciao super Kate,they are like cookies, they enter the oven like balls, then they flatten out during cooking ..... they are very good,mmmmmmmmm!!

[@Bake_That]

Hey Jerry! Thank you so much! Isn't it crazy that they flatten out! Love the new icon picture 😊

[@YesLuCan74]

I wonder if you could make an ice cream form of this flavor? 🤔 Ima need to look for it, haha. Good video, Kate. 💪

[@Bake_That]

Gingersnap ice cream sounds amazing! I know you can add vanilla ice cream in between two cookies and make a sandwich out of these! I have never tried it, but it sounded AMAZING! Thank you so much for watching Matt!

I love gingersnap cookies! I'm going to post a gingerbread cookie video this December, but still undecided whether to do a gingersnap style or soft gingerbread cookie! Yours look delicious, and I wish I had one with my mug of tea right now! I hope you're all doing well! How's Salem and Vader? Are you guys doing anything for Halloween?! 😻

[@Bake_That]

Hey Dani! Happy Halloween 🎃Gingersnaps are so perfect this time of year- especially with a warm beverage! I am super excited to see your gingerbread cookie recipe! Hope you, Mr. Editor, Gordon & Kiki are doing well too! We are good, just super busy! We went to Gettysburg this past weekend which was pretty cool! Just working and watching the world series (and Halloween movies). Philadelphia's team, the Phillies, made it to the world series and I love the Phillies! Hope you guys have a great Halloween 🎃 What are you guys doing for Halloween?!

[@BlackCatKitchen]

@@Bake_That - Happy Halloween to you guys too! Gettysburg is beautiful! I've driven through it a few times on the way home from Myrtle Beach, but unfortunately I've never had the time to explore the place properly!! We're really good, thanks! Just filming lots on weekends, so we have a buffer in preparation for more filming in the run up to Christmas! Also watching the Halloweentown films, Hocus Pocus 1 & 2, and any other light-hearted Halloween movie!! Fingers crossed for the Phillies! I hope they win!! 😻😻
