Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Ginger Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together 1 cup of white sugar and 3/4 cup of shortening until the mixture transforms into a light and fluffy delight.
Step 3
Next, introduce the rich molasses and a beaten egg, stirring until the mixture is smooth and inviting.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, whisking them together to create a fragrant dry blend.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to preserve that perfect texture.
Step 6
Pour 1/2 cup of white sugar into a shallow bowl, and roll the dough into 1-inch balls, coating each one in the sugar for a sweet finish.
Step 7
Arrange the sugared balls on a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are set and boast a lovely golden hue.
Step 9
Enjoy the warm, spicy aroma that fills your kitchen as these delightful cookies come to life!.
