Cooking Time:
1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time:
1 hour 30 minutes
Oven Temperature:
165° c  -  330° f

Step 1: You will need

  • 170 g brown sugar
  • 100 g butter
  • 4 tbsp molasses or treacle
  • 1 egg
  • 380 g flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 mixer with a flat beater attachment
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 baking tray lined with parchment paper
  • cling film

Step 2: Begin the dough

Add the brown sugar and butter to mixer bowl. Mix on a low speed for 1 minute then increase speed and mix for 1-2 minutes more. Reduce the speed and add the molasses. Mix a bit longer then add the egg. Increase speed to medium until well-blended.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients

Lower the speed of the mixer and add 1/2 of the flour. Mix lightly and then add the rest of the flour. Mix again. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger and salt. Mix in then turn off mixer, and scrape the attachment clean.

Step 4: Chill

Work the dough a little by hand using the rubber spatula. Transfer it into a bowl and allow the dough to chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 5: Preheat the oven

Near the end of the chilling time, set the oven to 165°C (320ºF/ gas mark 2.75).

Step 6: Make the biscuits

Using your hands, make small balls with the dough. Dip the balls in sugar and place them onto the tray. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Step 7: Bake

Place the tray in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8: Cool and serve

Let your ginger snaps cool to room temperature and they are ready to serve.

    The recipe is PERFECT !! Easy and tasty. I omit the molasse and use 2 tbsp of honey instead. Increase ground ginger to 1 tsp. These made the cookies perfect in taste. I found they were crispier adn tastier after kept in air-tight container over nights.
