Ginger Snaps

Hiya :) Happy Friday!

Do you know how good Ginger is for you?

It has tonnes of health benefits! Google it.. there are ALOT.

I am not sure if Ginger snaps fall in that category..but I

assume they MUST :) Sherman thinks so! Either way, they are seriously GOOD, and EASY.

I am not sure where this recipe originally came from, but

I had it passed down from a dear Aunt, who seriously knows

how to bake ;) So, to make these "crispy on the outside,

chewy in the center" Ginger Snaps, you will need :

- 1 1/2 cups margarine

(melt for 1 minute in microwave)

- 2 cups of brown sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup of molasses

( I've been told "fancy" is what you want) If you spray your measuring cup with pam,

the molasses will NOT stick. Do it.

So, you cream the melted butter and sugar together, then

add your molasses, and eggs, 1 at a time. Sift together :

- 4 cups flour

- 4 tsp baking soda

- 2 tsp ginger

- 2 tsp cinnamon

- 1 tsp cloves

( I think the sifting is actually just for the flour, but

I throw in my spices to get it all mixed together)

Add dry to wet, 1 cup at a time, mixing a

wee bit, in between each addition.

Scrape down your sides, mix up a bit more, but do
not overmix. Your dough should be fairly thick :)
Roll dough into balls, then roll in sugar.
Bake @ 325 Degrees for about 10 minutes, turn pan,
and bake another 2 minutes. (my oven is HOT, you might
have to adjust your cooking times a bit) Enjoy!
