Perfectly Crispy Ginger Snaps Recipe

[Muhammad Sufiyan]

  Hi group! I wanted to share my go-to recipe for crispy ginger snaps. These cookies are packed with warm spices and have that perfect snap we all love. Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground cloves
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup molasses

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and molasses until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat them in granulated sugar.
7. Place the dough balls on the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are crispy and centers puffed slightly.
9. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Tips:

• For extra crispness, bake 1-2 minutes longer.
• Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
