Ginger Hottendots
Food Ingredients:
3 3/4 cups AP flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened 2 cups sugar 2 large eggs, well beaten 1/2 cup dark (not blackstrap) molasses 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
Recipe preparation:
1 Preheat oven to 325. 2 Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves onto a sheet of wax paper. 3 Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. 4 Stir in the eggs, molasses and vinegar. 5 Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix until just blended, no longer. 6 Roll the dough into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch balls. 7 Roll the balls in vanilla or rosemary sugar. 8 Place the balls about 1” apart on parchment paper covered baking sheets. 9 Bake until soft, about 7 minutes. Don’t overbake – they will crisp as they cool. 10 Transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack when they come out of the oven.
