How to Make Deliciously Soft Gingersnaps

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Lightly flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the gingersnaps cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
