Delicious Ginger Molasses Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper (this keeps the cookies softer).
• Cream the margarine and brown sugar in a large bowl, then stir in the egg whites(beaten) and the molasses and vinegar.
• Sift together remaining ingredients and add to the wet mixture.
• Shape into 24 balls and roll them in the additional granulated sugar. Lightly press them on the cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the pan for about 2 minutes to firm slightly, then slide onto a cooling rack. ENJOY!
• Store these in an airtight container in layers lined with wax paper (prevents sogginess).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and then combine the mixture with your hands.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed for 5 minutes. Measuring out the oil, then the molasses will help you get all the molasses out of the measuring cup!
• Turn the mixer to low speed, add the eggs, and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for 1 more minute.
• With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the crystallized ginger and mix until combined.
• Scoop the dough with 2 spoons or a small 1" ice cream scoop. With your hands, roll each cookie into a 1 3/4-inch ball and roll in sugar. Then flatten them lightly with your fingers and place them on sheet pans. Sprinkle tops with additional sugar. Bake for exactly 13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugars together until nice and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
• Add egg, vanilla, & molasses and beat.
• In a separate bowl combine flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, black pepper and cloves.
• Combine wet ingredient mix with dry ingredient mix until well combined.
• Place remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in shallow bowl. Scoop dough with small cookie scoop. Form into balls and roll in sugar. Place them on an ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-13 minutes. You want to slightly under cook them, or they become quite hard. Let them cool on baking pan for about 3 minutes. Remove, from pan and let cook on a wire rack. These freeze well and pack well for shipping also the recipe is fine doubled.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg and beat until lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until well blended.
• Using a tablespoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place each ball 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crackled, 12 to 15 minutes; the cookies will still be a little soft. Baking these in 3 batches one sheet at a time gets you the nice, crackly top. The second sheet of cookies can stay on the counter until ready to bake. Form the remaining dough, roll the balls in sugar and place on the now cooled first baking sheet. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients and run a whisk through to combine everything.
• Cream sugar, oil and eggs.
• Slowly add the flour mixture a little at a time until mixed.
• Form into balls and roll in sugar.
• Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whip together sugar, butter, molasses, egg, and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices until dough comes together. Wrap well and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar to coat. Arrange on rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and molasses until well blended. Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water; stir into the molasses mixture. Gradually mix in the flour to make a smooth dough. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into circles using a 3 inch round cutter. Cut a smaller 1 inch circle out of half of the cookies. It is easier to cut the center hole after the cookies have been placed onto the cookie sheets. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges begin to darken. Allow cookies to cool completely before sandwiching. Frost solid cookies and place a cookie with the center hole on top.
• To make the frosting: Beat 1 tablespoon of margarine and water together. Blend in the ginger and salt. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until the desired consistency is reached. Sandwich between cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.Combine the sugar and candied ginger in a food processor and grind until fine.
• Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, wisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and molasses and mix well.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and sift into the butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to blend.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
• Using a #20 cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measure, scoop balls of dough, and gently flatten to form 2-1/2 to 3 inch discs.
• Roll each disc in the ginger sugar, and place on the lined cookie sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
• Bake 12-15 minutes, until just golden brown around the edges, but still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
• Remove from the oven and immediately slide the paper or mat onto a metal rack to cool.
• I use a small cookie scoop for these to make smaller (and more!) cookies. Start out baking them for 8 minutes and then adjust the time accordingly.
