Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups molasses
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups coarse sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Toss each ball in the coarse sugar until fully coated.

Step 7

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops begin to crackle. For crispier cookies, bake for the full 12 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade Adam's Ginger Snappys! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
