Name: Nanny'S Gingersnap Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups flour; 1/2 teaspoon dried ground ginger; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup shortening-this is what my Grandma used and the cookies taste great but if it bugs you to use shortening, use 3/4 cup unsalted butter that's at room temperature; 1 cup sugar; 1 egg; 1/4 cup molasses; 1/2 cup sugar for coating dough balls before baking

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon dried ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening-this is what my Grandma used and the cookies taste great but if it bugs you to use shortening, use 3/4 cup unsalted butter that's at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar for coating dough balls before baking

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2
Sift dry ingredients.
3
Cream shortening with sugar until fluffy. Add molasses and 1 egg. Mix well, you will have to scrap down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
4
Add dry ingredients to the egg, sugar, molasses mixture. Mix until combined. Again you might want to scrap down the sides of the bowl and continue mixing.
5
When everything is combined it should be a fairly stiff mixture.
6
Now use a tablespoon and scoop up dough and roll in your hands to make about 1 inch balls. Coat in sugar and place on parchment lined baking sheet. You can put about 12 dough balls on an average sized baking sheet. Put a thumbprint into the middle of each ball to press down a little.
7
Put in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool and serve. They freeze well, as most cookies, so let them cool and freeze them if you like in a sealed container.
