Ginger Snap Cookies
Our Favorite Recipe for Ginger Snap Cookies:
Ingredients:
Dry:
2 Cups GF flour
2 Teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 Cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Wet:
¾ cup canola oil
¼ cup molasses
1 tablespoon water
For rolling purposes:
½ cup white sugar
Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F
Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix all wet ingredients separately.
Then mix them all together, but do not over mix. The resulting mixture will have an unusual texture because of the oil and molasses . . . don’t worry.
Form the cookie dough into balls and roll them in the ½ cup of white sugar in a bowl. They will be very sticky.
Place each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet, and put the cookie ball/globs far apart because they will spread out during baking.
Cook for 10-14 minutes depending on size, and desired crispness.
Enjoy!!!
Favorite Drink: (oops no picture) Mint Tea, or Chocolate Mint Tea with Honey and Goat Milk - in my favorite Eeyore Mug.
