Is it freezing over there, too? I’m in a full on tea-and-blanket mode. Obviously what fits to that picture is a plate of cookies. This time I went with a slightly modified classic. These gingersnaps are full of flavor, which is further enhanced by browned butter. I also added more spices than the original recipe called for, and I reduced the amount of sugar, because of course I did.
They turned out great! I wanted to give some to a friend, but my dad ended up eating them all once I went to bed. I believe that to be a good sign 😉
Brown Butter Gingersnaps
source: adapted from Baker By Nature
Ingredients:
- ¾ stick butter, browned (instructions below)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/8 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Preparation:
- Melt butter in a small pot over a medium heat. Butter will crackle and pop as the water melts out of it. Once that passes, the butter will settle down and begin to quickly brown and smell nutty. Once it does, remove it from heat and move to a bowl.
- Combine the butter with both sugars. Add the egg and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
- Place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to a day.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll the dough into 1″ balls and place them on a prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Składniki:
- 75gram masła, brązowego (instrukcja poniżej)
- 1/3 szklanki cukru
- 1/3 szklanki brązowego cukru
- 1 jajko
- 2 łyżki melasy
- 1 1/3 szklanek mąki
- 1 1/8 łyżeczek imbiru
- 1 łyżeczka cynamonu
- ½ łyżeczki sody oczyszczonej
- ¼ łyżeczki soli
Przygotowanie:
- Masło rozpuść w garnuszku nad średnim ogniem. Masło zacznie trzaskać i strzelać, gdy będzie się z niego wytapiać woda. Gdy to minie, masło się uspokoi i zacznie szybko brązowieć i pachnieć orzechowo. Gdy całkiem zbrązowieje zdejmij je z ognia i przelej do miski.
- Do masła dodaj oba cukry. Wymieszaj razem z jajkiem i melasą.
- W osobnej misce wymieszaj mąkę, imbir, cynamon, sodę oczyszczoną, i sól.
- Połącz suche składniki z mokrymi i wymieszaj, aż ciasto uzyska jednolitą konsystencję.
- Umieść ciasto w lodówce na co najmniej godzinę (możesz je tam zostawić na cały dzień).
- Rozgrzej piekarnik do 170°C.
- Z ciasta formuj kulki o średnicy ok. 2.5 cm i układaj je na przygotowanej blaszce. Delikatnie spłaszcz każdą z kulek.
- Piecz przez ok. 10 minut, lub aż ciastka zrobią się lekko złociste.
Those look wonderful! Browned butter makes everything better 🙂
