Today is the day to make Ginger Crinkles - an easy, Christmasy recipe our family discovered about 15 years ago! Tom and I and our dog Shelby visit each of the people on our dead end street the Sunday before Christmas and take them a bag of Ginger Crinkles and Milk Bones for their dogs! Fun Tradition. We also take them to work and to friends in town.I'm sure these cookies are being created in several of our children's homes this season also! The tradition continues!
Ginger Crinkles:
Ginger Crinkles
2/3 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1 egg
4 Tablespoons molasses
2 Cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
¼ cup sugar for dipping
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oil and sugar thoroughly. Add egg and mix. Stir in molasses. Sift dry ingredients together and add. Drop teaspoonfuls into sugar and form into balls coated with sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Just finished making these - my favorites - for Jason's work, our friends, and neighbors. Last week Darby requested them for all his 7th grade teachers! They loved it!
