Ingredients

  • 2 cups - all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp - baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons - ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons - ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp - ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp - ground allspice
  • ¼ tsp - ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp - salt
  • 6 tablespoons - unsalted butter
  • ½ cup - dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup - molasses
  • ½ tsp - vanilla extract
  • 1 cup - powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons - warm water

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.
  3. Add the molasses and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until fully combined. It will be a crumbly texture, but when pressed with a spatula it should stick together to form a cohesive dough.
  5. Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, then use your hands to shape into a compact disk. Chill for at least one hour or overnight.
  6. When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper to ⅛" in thickness.
  8. Lightly grease the cookie stamps with oil and dip into flour, then cut out as many cookies as possible. Place the cookies on a small baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes. Reshape the remaining dough into a disk and chill for 15 minutes in the fridge before re-rolling and cutting out more cookies.
  9. Bake the gingersnaps for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and warm water until smooth.
  11. Dip each gingersnap into the glaze and place back on the baking sheet to set.
