How to Make Matthews Gingersnap Cookies 2002

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1/2 cup molasses until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger (optional).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll the balls in 1/4 cup granulated white sugar.
  9. Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned and the centers are set. Start checking at 10 minutes, as baking times may vary. Smaller cookies will bake faster.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
