Recipe For Brandy Snaps

Brandy Snaps

Ingredients

.....1 cup sifted cake flour
.....2/3 cup sugar
.....2 teaspoons ground ginger
.....1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
.....1/2 cup molasses
.....1/2 cup butter

Preparation

Sift together the first 4 ingredients and set aside. Heat molasses just to boiling point in a saucepan large enough for mixing cookies. Stir in butter. Add flour mixture. Mix well. Drop 1/2 teaspoon portions of dough onto greased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

Bake at 300 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove cookes from oven and cool 2 minutes. Carefully slip a spatual underneath the cookies and remove them from the pan onto a cooling rack. Quickly roll each around the index finger or the handle of a wooden spoon. If cookies become brittle before they are shaped, place in oven for a minute to reheat. Then remove from pan and roll. Store airtight.
