Gingersnaps

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
This is the recipe Dave uses for edibles. You can't taste the pot in the cookies and they are just as delicious without the kick. We've used this one for years, you should see how it looks, it looks well-used.

Butter preparation ~
Melt a pound of butter put in as much pot as possible, was Dave's recommendation. He puts on as low as you can get it, you don't want it to boil. He cooks the butter for ten to 12 hours, stirring regularly. Instead of rolling it into balls, he stores the mixture in yogurt containers, so all he does is scoop it out like ice cream on the baking sheet. Dave does three batches of gingersnaps at a time. He says that would be too tough for you to stir, so if you make more than one batch don't make more than two. He says it is almost impossible for him to stir with three batches.

Ingredients ~
Butter or margarine (softened) ~ 3/4 cup
Granulated sugar ~ 1 cup
Egg ~ 1
Molasses~ - 1/2 cup
Baking soda ~ 2 tsp.
Ginger ~ 2 tsp.
Salt ~ 1/2 tsp.
All-purpose flour ~ 2 1/2 cups


Cream butter, and the first amount of sugar well. Beat in egg. Mix in molasses.
Stir flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt together add.
Roll in sugar and place on a greased baking sheet. Back in a 350-degree oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

The dough may be frozen for later. We keep ours in the fridge and it has never gone bad on us.

Enjoy.
