Delicious cookie! Better than Ginger Snaps. My new favorite...

Ingredients

  • 3/4  cup shortening
  • 1  cup packed brown sugar
  • 1  tsp. baking soda
  • 2  tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1  tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4  cup mild-flavored molasses
  • 1  egg
  • 2-1/4  cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  cup granulated sugar

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, baking soda, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the cardamom, and the cinnamon. Beat on medium to high speed until combined. Beat in molasses and egg. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour.

2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in mixture of granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cardamom to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake in 375 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked. Cool on wire rack. Package 6 cookies in a small glass tumbler; seal with waxed paper; tie with string. Makes about 48 cookies.

These remind me of gingerbread. I don't know if there is a reason they have the ingredients added in the order they are, but it was a little extra challenging to combine the ingredients this way. I am used to the butter/sugar/eggs first and the dry separate. I'll try mixing them my usual way next time and see if it makes a difference. I used salted butter in place of shortening. I don't know if the recipe specifically wanted vegetable shortening or not, but butter worked well.

I love these cookies! I made them twice last holiday season. They are a breath of fresh air. The flavor is deeper and more subtle than ginger snaps. I will definitely be making them again this year.
