Virtual Cookie Exchange: Ginger Snaps

cookieswapThis is a recipe that my sister, Monique, started making years and years ago.  Since she is 12 years older than I am, it seems like it’s been around my whole life.  But probably she started making it some time when I was in elementary school or middle school.

I made them by myself for the first time last year, and I don’t know what I did, but they weren’t quite the same.  I think that the vegetable oil I used was a bit on the old side (a hazard of Costco shopping) and so maybe that was it.  

Everyone else seemed to like them though.

 

 

Ingrediants:

2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil or shortening
1/4 cup molasses 
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
some white sugar

Directions:

Combine half the flour with everything else (except the white sugar), then add the other half of the flour.  Shape into balls and roll in sugar.  The balls should be about 1″ across.

Bake at 375 degrees, about 8-10 minutes, or until cracked on the top and set.

    I bet the cookies were delicious! It’s always a disappointment when delights from our childhood don’t live up to our expectations, though. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.

    I will have to try them out. Thanks, I usually buy the kind you just have to place on a tray and cook, but these sound like an adventure.
