These spicy little treats are a fun twist on the traditional ginger snaps; they would be perfect with some chai tea.
Fine, they would be perfect with anything or with nothing to drink.
This is a recipe pulled from Better Homes & Gardens - that magazine knows what they're doing with the baking and recipe temptations.
Cardamom Snaps
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. ground cardamom
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mild-flavored molasses
- 1 egg
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place shortening in your mixer and mix on medium-high for about a minute. Add the brown sugar, baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp. of the cardamom, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Beat in the molasses and the egg, then add the flour, scraping sides as you go.
Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar/cardamom mixture. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cookies are firm around edges and have cracked on the top.
