and I'm posting my all time fav. ginger cookie recipe. These aren't your average run-of-the-mill ginger cookies, these are the BEST ginger cookies you will ever eat! Don't overbake. They are soft, chewy and perfect for those chilly autumn afternoons. I haven't made these since last fall and there is a reason... We eat them up as quickly as they are made! So without further ado...
Ginger Cookies
Cream:
3/4 cup oil (or shortening - I used oil)
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
Sift together
2 1/2 c flour
2 t. b.soda
1/2 t. salt
1 - 1.5 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons (or more) cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
2 - 3 Tablespoons vinegar (yep, vinegar)
Combine and mix all of the above.
Refrigerate dough until chilled then roll into small
balls and roll in sugar.
Place on ungreased pan 2" apart
Bake @ 350 for 8-10 mins. (I did 8 mins)
ENJOY
I usually double this and keep the unbaked dough in the frig
or freezer (airtight) and use as needed.

I love anything with molasses...and am going to try to make them this week. They sound yummmy...although I may have to throw in a few chocolate chips just to quell the addiction..xo
I just happen to have some crystallized ginger so I'm going to try to make them this weekend! Thank you for writing back :). I've probably tried every brand of store-bought ginger cookies. My favorite so far are Trader Joe's.. bite size cookies made with crystallized ginger.
