Ginger Crinkle Cookies
I love anything with ginger or molasses. Over the years I have made dozens of ginger cookie recipes. I ended up mashing a few different recipes together and made my perfect cookie.
The ingredients you will need are:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 tsp cinnamon plus 1 tsp set aside
- 1/4 cup suar
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
Dry Ingredients
Wisk together the flour, 2 tsp cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and ginger together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside this mixture.
Wet Ingredients and Bringing the Dough Together
Mix together the egg, brown sugar and oil. Once this is combined, add in your molasses and mix as best as you can. I find the oil wants to separate a bit, but once everything else gets added this will solve itself. Add your wet ingredients to your dry and mix until well combined.
Rolling and Baking
Put the 1 tsp of cinnamon and white sugar in a bowl and mix. This is what you will be rolling your unbaked cookies in before they go in the oven. Grab pieces of dough about 2 tbsp big, roll and then toss in your cinnamon sugar mixture. Place each ball on a lined cookie sheet a few inches apart. Bake your cookies at 350 degrees for 11 minutes. Cool and enjoy :)
