Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground clove until well mixed.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, egg, and molasses until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Use your hands to combine the mixture thoroughly, ensuring there are no dry spots.
-
Shape Dough: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
-
Coat with Sugar: Roll each dough ball in additional white granulated sugar, coating them evenly. Avoid flattening the cookies; they will spread as they bake.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as they bake quickly.
-
Test for Desired Texture: For chewy cookies, aim for the shorter baking time, while for crispier cookies, bake them closer to the maximum time. You can also do a test batch to determine the perfect balance of crispness and texture to suit your preference.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. Enjoy these delightful gingersnap cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
These Matthews Gingersnap Cookies are a delightful homemade treat, perfect for sharing with family and friends during the holiday season or any time you’re craving a comforting sweet indulgence. Enjoy the warm, spicy flavors and the memories they evoke with each delicious bite! ๐๐ช
