Gingersnap Cookies
- 2 cups flour
- 1 Tbsp. ground ginger
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter; at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside. Separately, add the butter to a bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Whisk in the egg and dark molasses until smooth and uniform. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the wet mixture; stirring to thoroughly blend. Add in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1” balls between your hands and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes.
