Gingersnaps!

I’ll admit it… I’m trying to use things up and clean out cupboards. I discovered that I have 2 1/2 bottles of molasses lurking in the kitchen cabinet. The perfect way to use molasses (other than for Cracker Jacks — I’ll share that recipe another time) is for Gingersnaps. The boys are going on a boy scout campout, so these sturdy cookies will be a great take-along snack.

Gingersnaps

3/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
Cream well.
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses
2 tsp. white vinegar
Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Add:
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
3 3/4 c. flour

Roll into balls… coat with granulated sugar. Place on greased baking pan and bake for about 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Completely yummy.
