EASY Gingersnaps Recipe | Amelia Does Dinner

Gingersnaps are one of those treats that reminds me of Fall and Winter but, something so good can be eaten pretty much all year round. I used fresh ginger for my easy gingersnaps recipe and that really added such an amazing dimension to the flavour profile. I usually have these with a cup of black coffee or tea. Here's my step by step recipe so you can learn how to make gingersnaps. You will need: 3/4 cup Butter 1/2 Granulated White Sugar 1/2 Brown Sugar 1 Egg 1/4 cup Unsulphured Molasses 3 Tbsp. Freshly Grated Ginger 2 cups Flour (all purpose) 2 tsp. Baking Soda 1/2 tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon 1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg Coating: 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar Method: 1. Prepare your dry ingredients: Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda to the flour then whisk to combine. 2. Cream the butter, 1/2 cup granulated white and brown sugar till creamy and fluffly (about 3 mins.) 3. Add the wet ingredients: molasses, ginger and egg. Combine well untill the batter is firm and not runny. 5. Add the flour in 2 batches. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula during additions. 6. When all the flour is incorporated and the dough is thick, cover the bowl with some cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour. 7. Preheat the oven to 350°F and remove the chilled cookie dough from the fridge. 8. Using a spoon (mine was the measurement of a very full tsp.) scoop out your dough portions and roll them into balls. 9. Toss the balls in the granulated white sugar. 10. Place on a parchment lined baking tray and adequately space the balls. 11. Bake for approx. 12-15 mins or until the cookies are brown. 12. Enjoy. Notes: *Ensure the butter is at room temperature. *At 12 mins.my cookies were crisp around the edges but softer in the middle. They crisped up a bit more when cooled. The longer you bake your cookies, the crispier they'll be. If you enjoy the video, be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the Channel for more videos.
