Ginger Snaps

These are chewy Christmas delights. 
  • 3/4 cups butter (I use margarine... my cookies end up a bit flatter but they still taste goooood)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
Beat above ingredients together. Mix the following dry ingredients together then add slowly to the wet ingredients:
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of ground cloves and pinch of nutmeg
Form into small balls and roll in white sugar. 


Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes on an un-greased cookie sheet.  These need to be slightly underdone so that they will be chewy - they will be very soft when they come out of the oven and that is good. They will harden enough.
