Regency Ginger Cookies

Thoughts Before Baking:

So what could go better with a supernatural, Austen inspired novel, than some cookies in Regency style?

Not much! So this recipe comes from Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder.

When I saw it was Regency inspired I thought I might give it a go. Hopefully they won’t taste bad.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 Cup of Melted Butter
• 1 Cup of Brown Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 4 Tablespoons of Molasses
• 2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
• 2 Teaspoons of Ground Ginger
• 2 1/4 Cups of Flour
• 1/2 Cup of White Sugar in a Small Bowl

Directions:

1. Melt butter and mix in brown sugar.
2. Let mixture cool and then add egg.
3. Add baking soda, molasses, salt, and ginger. Stir.
4. Add flour and mix it in.
5. Chill for at least 1 hour
6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Roll the dough into balls, rolling them in the white sugar.
8. Place them on a greased cookie sheet.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until brown.

Thoughts After Baking:

So I’m sure you have noticed my earlier writing that I hoped they would taste good. You see I don’t like molasses. I hate how it tastes and smells.

So how did I like it? I loved the cookies. They tasted a bit like gingerbread, but not quite; lighter and fluffier. I loved them and will most likely make them again in the future.
