Ginger Cookies with Molasses

Ingredients

Butter - 4.4 oz
Brown Sugar - 2.1 oz
Light Molasses - 15 tablespoons
Egg white - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 8.8 oz
Self-rising flour - 1.4 oz
Grated Ginger Root - 1 tablespoon
Activated Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 356°F. Grease two or three baking sheets with butter. Line them with parchment paper. Using a mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and molasses until creamy. While continuing to beat, add the egg.

Step 2

Sift the flour, ginger, and baking soda into the bowl with the butter mixture and mix well with a knife. Dipping your hands in flour to prevent the dough from sticking, gather the dough into a ball, then place it on a floured surface and knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

Step 3

Place a large board with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on the board to a thickness of 5 mm (if necessary, sprinkle the rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking). Place the board with the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool until it can be cut.

Step 4

Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes from the dough (you can use a regular glass). Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until they are slightly golden. Leave them on the baking sheet to cool.
