Why I always choose a hot day to bake is beyond me. Of course, if I waited for a cold day, we may never get cookies till winter hit :) I love food blogs and could spend hours browsing all the delectable sites, but have to limit that. Sigh. Anyway, this is not my original recipe, but definitely a keeper if you like semi-crunchy ginger cookies. Thanks to Jess for the recipe. Her pictures are way better than mine, btw. ;)
Ginger Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
Additional sugar, for rolling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt, and gradually add to the creamed mixture until well mixed. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls, then roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Enjoy!
