Ginger Snap Cookies - Azure Standard Organic Blackstrap Molasses Review

I received a newsletter from Little Mountain Ranch that I signed up for after watching their channel on YouTube. The newsletter included that a recipe for Ginger Snaps. I just love these spicy little cookies, so I had to try out this recipe. 

 

I also tried Azure Standard's Organic Blackstrap Molasses. It is super rich and flavorful. 
It will be perfect for making Molasses tea. (Boiling water mixed with a spoon of molasses)

Ginger Snaps Ingredients: 1/3 cup sugar (for rolling) 3/4 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup dark molasses 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ginger (I used 2 Tsp of freshly grated ginger)   Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix butter, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Beat well. Stir in molasses, flour, baking soda, and spices. Shape dough into walnut sized balls. Put 1/3 cup of sugar in a bowl and roll balls in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. (I used parchment paper) Bake for 12-14 minutes, just until the tops crack. Cool on wire racks. Notes: These cookies will spread. Don't over bake them; you want them slightly chewy in the center and crunchy around the edges.

I didn't bake the whole recipe. I froze a portion of the dough
and saved the rolling sugar.

I definitely recommend this recipe. It's fast and easy. The dough came together in just a matter of minutes. I was ready to bake before the oven had a chance to preheat. 

I used the ends of the ginger root to make ginger tea by boiling them in water for a couple of minutes and allowing the roots to steep for an additional 10 minutes. 

Enjoy!
