How to Make Rich Chewy Gingersnaps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses and eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the crystallized ginger (if using).
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still slightly soft. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes. Underbaking will yield a softer cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
