KING ARTHUR FLOUR GINGERSNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
• Beat together the shortening, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
• Beat in the egg, then the molasses.
• Add the flour and spices, beating to make a smooth, fairly stiff dough.
• To make the coating, combine the sugar and cinnamon, and place in a shallow pan or dish.
• Drop the dough in 1" balls into the cinnamon-sugar mixture; a teaspoon cookie scoop is perfect here.
• Roll the balls in the sugar to coat, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 1/2" between them; they'll spread as they bake.
• Bake the cookies for 11 minutes, for cookies that are crisp around the edges, and "bendy" in the center. Bake for 13 minutes, for cookies that are crisp/crunchy all the way through.
• Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool right on the pan, or on a rack. Cool completely, then store tightly wrapped, at room temperature.

SNAPPY GINGERSNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• On your mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
• Add the egg and the molasses and beat until incorporated.
• Scrape down the bowl, then add the remaining ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is combined.
• Do not overmix.
• Using about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, roll into balls and place them 2 inches apart on parchment lined pans.
• Bake until flat and evenly browned, about 13 minutes.
• Cool on the pan, the remove to a rack to finish cooling.
• These cookies are best the day they are baked, but will keep for several days.
• Note: You can make the dough ahead, roll into logs, freeze, then slice and bake when you need them.
• That's how I make them.
• Note #2: You can also dip these in chocolate, just half-way up the cookie, to dress them up.

GINGERBREAD (FROM KING ARTHUR FLOUR)

Steps:

• Grease and flour a 9" square pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
• Melt the butter in a heatproof measuring cup. Add the molasses to the cup, and pour into the dry ingredients in the bowl, mixing to moisten.
• Add the water, stirring until everything is moistened. Whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Stir into the batter until it's evenly combined. Stir in the crystallized ginger.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cake just begins to pull away from the edge of the pan.
• Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes before slicing; gingerbread is best served warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
