Tooth shatteringly hard cookies with a hint of ginger. Eating them with strong coffee reminds me of the steamy night markets of Morocco.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, egg, and molasses until smooth. Combine the flour and ginger; stir into the molasses mixture until well blended. Drop large teaspoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Step 3
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on the top shelf of your oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 280 degrees F (137 degrees C). Allow the cookies to cool, then return them to a warm oven for 10 more minutes to dry out and become crispy.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3 tablespoons ground ginger
