Ginger cookies that scream the holidays

So these are my favorite cookies this time of year.  And if you know my eating habits, that is saying a lot.  They scream Christmas to me.  I choose to under cook them a little so they are very soft in the middle. Try them and tell me what you think.

Wine Pairing: Laurie said these cookies rock with a sweet Gewürztraminer or late harvest Riesling!

Ginger Cookies

  • ¾ Cup Butter at room temp
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 each egg
  • ¼ cup Molasses
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Directions:
These are very easy.  Pre heat oven to 350° and mix all of the ingredients together in a Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment on a very low speed until just combined.  Do not over mix this dough.  Scoop out dough into the size of ping-pong balls. Flatten the balls and toss in sugar.  Put on a cookie sheet spaced well and bake for about 9 to 9 and 1/2 minutes.

    What does “1 each egg” mean?

      It is just my format for recipes. I always put an amount. 1 each just means 1.
