Big Soft Ginger Cookies - Zencefilli kurabiye

Yabancı kaynaktan bulduğum bu Zencefilli kurabiyenin ingilizcesini veriyorum. Bu tarifi denedim çok beğendim.... Böyle içi yumuşak gibi nefis oldu...:-)

Big Soft Ginger Cookies
 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour = 315 gr
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ stick butter, softened
1 cup white sugar = 128 gr
1 egg 1 tablespoon water or orange juice
¼ cup molasses = 4 yemek kaşığı pekmez
2 tablespoons white sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses.

Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. They turn out just perfect. Crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside.
