Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups coarse sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Toss each ball in the coarse sugar until fully coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops begin to crackle. For crispier cookies, bake for the full 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Adam's Ginger Snappys! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
