For Christmas Mom gave me a calendar with a recipe each month. I decided that since I like to bake I'd go ahead and give each of the recipes a try. I've never made gingersnap cookies before so I was a little nervous with this one. One think I can say is that molasses stinks. It's a good thing that the cookies are yummy!
Chocolate Ginger Cookies
1 cup (3/4 for high altitude) brown sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 cup sugar
48 chocolate candies
Heat oven at 375 degrees. Cream brown sugar and shortening. Beat in egg. In small bowl mix flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Add dry mixture to sugar mixture. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Once removed from the oven, immediately press 1 chocolate candy into each cookie. Cool completely.
I didn't make any alterations to the recipe.
