How to Make A Molasses Ginger Snaps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated.
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
- 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).
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
