Soft Ginger Cookies For Nanacc Please
 

We you Please post your recipe for the cookies mentioned above and I Thank you in advance

Here's my family's favorite ginger cookies. If you cook them for 9 minutes they are soft and chewy. Stored in a container they will remain soft and chewy. Enjoy


Grease cookie sheet. Preheat oven 350°

Measure and sift into a bowl:
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2-teaspoon salt

In a separate large bowl,
cream 1/2-cup shortening and 1 cup sugar until fluffy
add
1 egg and
1/4 cup molasses
Beat until fluffy.

If you really like ginger, add 1/2-cup candied ginger, chopped fine

Sift dry ingredients over the the creamed mixture and blend well. Form teaspoonfuls of dough into small balls by rolling them lightly, one at a time, between the palms of hands. Roll dough balls in granulated sugar to cover entire outside surface. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet (I use silicone sheets) and bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes (crispy) or 9 minutes for chewy.

Sorry for late response! Been busy and did not get request till now. This is my DD's recipe.

Does your DD use chopped fresh ginger or chopped candied ginger?
