How to Make Dipped Gingersnaps

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 large egg and ½ cup molasses. Mix well until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  5. Place the gingersnap balls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until edges are set.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks completely.
  7. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of margarine in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  8. Dip the cooled gingersnaps halfway into the melted chocolate.
  9. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  10. Place the dipped gingersnaps on waxed paper-lined baking sheets to allow the chocolate to harden.
