Gingerdoodle Cookies

Products Used

Ingredients

  • 2 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup, divided Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
      • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 cookie sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
      2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, one teaspoon cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
      3. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and remaining one teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
      4. In a stand mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and mix until fully combined.
      5. Roll one heaping tablespoon of dough into balls and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on cookie sheets, leaving about 2-inches for spreading.
      6. Bake for 10 minutes, until edges are just set. While warm and just out of the oven, sprinkle tops of cookies with any remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Let rest on cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 
      7. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

      These are a new family fave and are perfect for the holidays. They come out perfectly every time and make a large batch :-)

      These cookies did not come out at all. The did not rise and basically just melted together. I followed the recipe exactly. I will not be making this again.

      This recipe does not have enough flour. I added another 1/4 cup of flour and the cookies turned out much better than the first time I tried them.

      Mine turned out like crisps instead of cookies. What did I do wrong??
