Ginger Cookie

I want to show you a wonderful ginger cookie

It's going to be so, so good with our butter pecan ice cream

Now I'm going to start with 3-4ths a cup of shortening. I'm going to add a cup of sugar

I'm going to add one egg. And a 1-4th of a cup of molasses

Oh, it smells so good. I love molasses. Gosh, it almost tastes like a strong cane syrup

It's so good. All right, now we're just gonna take these ingredients and we're gonna blend them up real good

Last, it took it a while. You can see what a nice, rich color

that molasses turned this into. Now we're gonna come over here. I've got two cups of all-purpose flour

I'm gonna add two teaspoons of baking soda, a teaspoon of cinnamon

a teaspoon of ginger, and a half a teaspoon of cloves, and a pinch of salt

Now I'm just gonna stir this up, and we're gonna dump it over into our shortening

and molasses mixture that we've got over here. Just gonna give that a little stir

All right I gonna try to sling that batter Why am I swinging it on y

Okay, here we go. All right, now I'm gonna take these and I'm gonna roll them into a small ball, a little

larger than a marble. And I've got some just plain granulated sugar right there

I love my ice cream. All right, now I'm just gonna toss these around in the sugar

Okay, I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees, and we're gonna bake these for about 12 minutes

So, y'all look at what I got

Ginger cookies. Don't they look good? I love the cracks in them

I gotta find something to put them on. Oh, these look delicious

And here, they're already crisp. As they're hitting the plate, I can tell that they're gonna be really nice and crunchy

Oh, they're gonna be perfect with that ice cream
