If you like spicy, molasses-y cookies, these puppies are for you.
This recipe makes a few dozen (3-4 I think), but you can freeze the dough. Get to the point where you've rolled them into balls. Place the rolled balls on a cookie sheet and slip it into the freezer. Once they are frozen, you can put them into a freezer bag and back into the freezer. Then just pluck them out and bake at your whim.
Ingredients
3 3/4 cups sifted flour (can use wheat flour too)
3 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp baking soda (if you use baking powder, like I did by mistake once, it comes out less crackled and poofier)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup molasses
1 TBSP cider vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 325F.
Sift together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and ground cloves.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time and beating well. Add molasses and cider vinegar. Blend well.
Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Form into 3/4 to 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.
Bake at 325F for 10-12 minutes or until the tops just start to crack.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERCOOK, THE COOKIES WILL BE ROCK HARD IF YOU DO.
