Ginger Snaps - Just like mom made!
This is my mother’s ginger snap recipe and I hold it near to my heart. They are simple and delicious holiday cookies with a bit of spice. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!
Ingredients for Ginger Snaps
3/4 cup soft lard (tenderflake)
3/4 cup soft margarine
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
1 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cup flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cloves
Instructions
Beat together the lard, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Beat in the egg, then the molasses.
Add the flour and spices, beating to make a smooth, fairly stiff dough.
Chill dough well (1 hour).
Roll into balls – approx. 1 good tsp then dip into sugar or sprinkles.
Bake 7-9 minutes. Watch as they burn easily – once they crack they’re done!
