(Image to the right shows the weakness of both English and Amish alike. The simple cookie.)That's right. For some the reason of the season comes down to the aroma's and tastes found in the family kitchen. Found below is one of my personal favorites and soon to be one of yours:
Amish Ginger Cookies
Makes about 48
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoon baking sodaextra granulated sugar
First, preheat the oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and 1 cup sugar until creamy. Add egg and molasses; beat until combined. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the extra granulated sugar. Place balls on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 5 - 7 minutes until barely turning brown. Allow to cool for 1 minute on baking sheet and then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
