GINGER COOKIES RECIPE NO MOLASSES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Sift flour,  spices, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugars, beat in the egg.
• Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Stir well.
• Gently form 1 inch balls from the dough and roll them in sugar, if desired. 
• Put them on a ungreased cookie sheet and press down gently. 
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add egg and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in corn syrup and orange peel until well combined.
• Sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until blended. Shape dough into several balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Working in batches, place one ball of chilled dough on a floured surface and roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with desired cookie cutters and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
