Great Grandmother's Ginger Cookie Recipe

Ginger Cookie Recipe

Hey everybody, today I wanted to share my great grandmother's recipe for ginger cookies with Steemit. I work with seniors and recently had a Cookie Taste Off - I competed against a profession chef and won by popular vote! This is the winning recipe. DISCLAIMER: I realize that this recipe could be identical to others, however that is what happens when there are billions of people and not a ton of ways to make ginger cookies.

Preheat your oven at 350 F. The cookies will cook at this heat for approximately 8-10 mins.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of butter
• 2 cups of white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of molasses
• 4 cups of flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Mix ingredients in order listed. This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen cookies, depending on the size. I personally use a miniature ice cream scoop to make. I do not flatter them as I find they fall very nice on their own.
