Gingersnaps!
And baking.
My Mom and Grandmother always spent a lot of time in the kitchen during the holidays. I discovered this recipe after I was married but it was soon incorperated into our traditions. They are easy to make and not as heavy as so many other treats this time of year.
Soft Gingersnaps
¾ cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 egg whites
½ cup molasses
4 cups flour
4 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup sugar
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg whites. Beat well. Stir in molasses. Sift dry ingredients together. Mix into creamed mixture. Refrigerate for one hour. Roll dough into balls. Roll balls into ¼ sugar and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 6 to 8 minutes. Makes about 48 cookies.
Oh wow, those look good... Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to try these.
