Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, butter, and egg with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the molasses and honey, and beat for another minute until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

In a shallow bowl, combine the turbinado sugar with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Using a rounded teaspoon, roll the dough into small balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating evenly. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (1 minute)

For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them. If you prefer a crispier gingersnap, bake them for a minute or two longer.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. These cookies also freeze well for longer storage.
Feel free to experiment with other spices such as cloves, nutmeg, or cardamom to customize the flavor profile to your liking.

    I found that chilling the dough really helped with the texture. Thanks for the tip!

    I used coconut sugar instead of turbinado, and they were still delicious!
