Gingersnaps Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 6 large cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup oil
- 5 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly to perfection!
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Next, add in the maple syrup, molasses, oil, and freshly grated ginger to the bowl. These ingredients will not only sweeten your cookies but also infuse them with that irresistible ginger flavor!
-
Gently Combine: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the ingredients together until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!
-
Scoop and Bake: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking. Then, using a spoon, scoop out spoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Gingersnaps are best enjoyed warm with a cup of hot tea or coffee, or you can let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container for later indulgence. They also make fantastic edible gifts for friends and family during the holiday season, so why not whip up a batch today and spread some joy with these irresistible homemade treats? Happy baking! 🍪✨
