Gingersnap Cookies – aka Kris Krinkles

  • 3/4 c shortening
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 t baking soda
  • 1 t ginger
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 1/2 t ground cloves
  • 2 1/4 c flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Beat the shortening and sugar until creamy.  Add molasses and egg.   Beat well.

Mix in baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

Add flour and mix well.

Form 1″ balls (HINT:  Use a cookie scoop to get a perfect shape and size.), dip in sugar, and place 2″ apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  (I use a stoneware cookie sheet.)

Bake about 8 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Let sit 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling rack.  Makes 48.

Many of my favorite cookie recipes came from this cookbook that my mom had while I was growing up.  It’s out of print but still pretty easy to find a copy of it.

    I love ginger and I love a great gingersnap even more, and mmm, rolled in sugar for a little extra crunch. So yummy, I can’t wait to try them!

    These cookies look incredible! The sugar crystals must add the perfect amount of sweetness to them. I have never made ginger snap cookies. Gosh, I need to get busy in the kitchen this Christmas! Lovely, post!
