Ginger Snap Cookies

Ginger Snap Cookies - Ballerina Farm

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups High Protein Farm Flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Fine French Salt
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional cane sugar, for rolling

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the softened butter, cane sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until lightened in color and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and mix until the mixture nearly doubles in size, and turns a creamy, pale color.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and molasses and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not over mix.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 25–30 minutes.
  7. Scoop the dough into balls of your desired size. Roll each ball in cane sugar and place on a lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 10–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bon appetit!
