Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups of versatile all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of earthy ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of warm ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of aromatic ground cloves
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup of richly packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup of nourishing vegetable oil
- ¼ cup of luscious molasses
- 1 whole egg
- A dash of salt
- For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons of buttery shortening (like Crisco®)
- 2 cups of powdered confectioners' sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons of zesty orange extract
- 2 tablespoons of creamy milk
- A sprinkle of salt
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to create the ideal baking environment.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine a mixture of flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and a pinch of salt to infuse your recipe with aromatic flavors.
Step 3
Next, in another bowl, blend together brown sugar, oil, molasses, an egg, and a hint of salt using an electric mixer until the texture is smooth and satisfying.
Step 4
Gently pour this mixture over the flour concoction and stir until it forms a cohesive dough that is ready to be shaped into delightful 1-inch balls.
Step 5
Arrange these dough balls gracefully on ungreased baking sheets before placing them in the preheated oven to bake until they reach a firm consistency, typically taking around 8 to 9 minutes.
Step 6
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to further solidify their structure.
Step 7
Meanwhile, melt shortening in a microwave-safe bowl for about a minute, then introduce confectioners' sugar and a touch of orange extract to create a luscious glaze. Gradually incorporate milk into the mixture until the glaze achieves a smooth, runny consistency. Don't forget to add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Finally, drizzle this delectable glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon, adding a touch of elegance to your delightful treats.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your ginger cookies in an airtight container to preserve their freshness and flavor. This will ensure that every bite is as delicious as the first.
- 2. If you want to add an extra zesty kick to your ginger cookies, try storing them with a few strips of orange peel. The citrus aroma will infuse the cookies with a refreshing twist.
