Holiday Ginger Snaps 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.
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.
