Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Gingersnap Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Incorporate the egg and molasses into the butter-sugar mixture until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll in granulated sugar, and place on lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft; cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with a glaze of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
