Ginger Snaps

By far the tastiest ginger snaps ever; I found the recipe while living in Inuvik.

  • ½ c sugar
  • ¾ c butter
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ c black strap molasses
  • 1 T ginger
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 2 c flour
  • 1 t soda (rounded)

Mix dry ingredients.In separate bowl blend butter, sugar, egg and molasses. Mix dry and wet ingredients together. Make into teasponn sized balls. Roll in white sugar, or if you want the cookies less sweet, just dip the tops into sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet and press down with fork. Bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes.

Tip: For best flavor, do not substitute margarine or shortening for butter. Unsalted butter is best!
