How to Make A Molasses Ginger Snaps

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients using your hands until well mixed. This is the best way to ensure even distribution of ingredients and optimal chewiness.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  4. Roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated.
  5. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and chewy. For chewier cookies, bake for the minimum time (8 minutes).
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
