Ginger Snap recipe

Ginger Snaps and tea.

Before owning the Palmer House Inn, Bill and I lived on boats. I enjoyed making these  holiday ginger snaps recipe because ginger is calming to the digestive system. Many folks were concerned about sea sickness.

This recipe makes about 5 dozen.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/4 cups sifted enriched flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cloves

Holiday Gingersnaps Recipe Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

With an electric mixer, cream together the first four ingredients until it is fluffy. Sift together the dry ingredients: stir into the molasses mixture. Form the doe into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place the balls about two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about ten minutes. Allow to cool and remove from the pan.
