Chewy Gingersnap Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup of flour, brown sugar, shortening, molasses, egg, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until they form a smooth, cohesive mixture.
3
Next, add the remaining 1 1/4 cups of flour to the bowl and mix until just combined.
4
Then, use your hands or a rolling pin to shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
5
Roll each ball of dough in a thin layer of white sugar to coat.
6
Place the coated balls of dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
7
Finally, bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is set and the tops are crackled and golden brown.
