Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/3 cup | Shortening |
| 1/2 cup | White sugar |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/2 cup | Molasses |
| 1/2 cup | Water |
| 2 cups | Self-rising flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Ground ginger |
| 1/2 tsp | Ground nutmeg |
| 1/2 tsp | Ground cloves |
| 1/2 tsp | Ground cinnamon |
Instructions:
-
Cream the Shortening: In a mixing bowl, combine the shortening, white sugar, egg, molasses, and water. Mix until well combined and creamy.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the self-rising flour, salt, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon to the creamed mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
-
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to handle.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) while the dough is chilling. Prepare your cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing lightly.
-
Form Cookies: Once the dough has chilled, drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Ginger Cream Cookies with your loved ones!
