Description
Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside Ginger Sparkle cookies will make your ties curl up with glee!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, and then add other wet ingredients and mix/beat well.
2. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Dough should be soft and easy to handle and not sticky. For best results, fridge your dough for an hour to make it a little firmer before rolling or baking.
3. Shape cold dough into one inch balls and roll in sugar. Flatten slightly with pads of fingers so they spread easily.
4. Bake on an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet at 350° for 10 minutes, until bottom is lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Notes
Ginger Sparkles will be very soft fresh out of the oven, as they cool they harden to be crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. YUM.
