Spiced Ginger Crisps

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground ginger.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s soft and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and airy.

4. Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the vanilla extract, molasses, and the room-temperature egg. Mix well.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring slowly to combine.

6. Chill Dough

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

7. Roll and Cut Dough

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured board to a thickness of about ⅛ to ¼ inch. Use a floured cutter to cut out your cookies.

8. Bake Cookies

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them about 1½ inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are puffed and set.

9. Cool Cookies

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
