The Best Gingersnap Cookies Recipe!
For the past couple of years I have been trying to perfect my Gingersnap cookies recipe so that it was the best gingersnap cookie recipe around. I LOVE gingersnap cookies and I wanted them to be chewy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. I have finally perfected my recipe and upon many requests from those that received them on cookie plates this year I am sharing it 🙂 I’ve been told by several people that have tried these that they are the best gingersnap cookies they’ve tried. So it’s not just my bias 🙂 Here is the much tweaked and perfected recipe!
The Best Gingersnap Cookies Recipe!
Ingredients
- 1/4 C Shortening
- 1/2 C Butter softened
- 2 C Flour
- 4 Tbsp Molasses full flavor
- 1 C Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp Cloves ground
- 2 Tsp Soda
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp Ginger
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
Instructions
- Cream together wet ingredients then add dry ingredients slowly and mix well.
- Form into balls and roll in white sugar.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 9-12 minutes.
- I store them with a loose lid. If you store them in an airtight container they will become soft. If you leave the lid partially off then they stay slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
This recipe is sooooo good and perfect for Christmas time! Bake up a batch for Santa and he will be impressed 🙂

Hi there, we are just in the middle of making these and they are extremely wet. Is there a typo on the flour measurement ?
They should be very moist and then roll in sugar.
