Title: Grandma's Gingersnap Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Spices
Yield: 60 cookies
1/3 c Cinnamon sugar
2 c A-P flour; sifted
1 tb Ground ginger
2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c Shortening or butter
1 c White sugar
1 lg Egg
1/4 c Dark molasses
Gather all ingredients.
Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C.
Place cinnamon sugar in a bowl; set aside.
Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing
bowl. Stir the mixture until blended, then sift a second time into
another bowl.
Beat shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until
creamy. Gradually beat in white sugar. Add egg and molasses and
beat until light and fluffy.
Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to
thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture and mix
together until a soft dough forms.
Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll them with your hands into
1" diameter balls.
Place balls in cinnamon sugar and roll to coat, then place 2" apart
on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake until tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes,
switching racks halfway through. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
FROM THE EDITOR: The magazine version of this recipe uses 2 tb
cinnamon mixed with 2 ts sugar to coat the cookies before baking.
