My hubby is Australian and Australians have a thing for ginger. Ever had Ginger Beer? Some of the brands over here are simply awful, but if you can find the brand Bundaberg you will find a real treat.
My hubby asks for Ginger Cookies … and here is the best recipe I have found.
Ginger Snap Cookies
- 3/4 c. softened butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 4 T. molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 c. flour
- 2 t. soda
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 1 t. cloves
- 1 t. ginger
Thoroughly cream butter and sugar; add molasses and egg. Beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Roll into small balls; dip in sugar and place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18 minutes.
Let me know what you think!

Mine is Pilipino, and they love their ginger in everything, even savories. I’ve found myself putting it in snickerdoodles and chocolate oatmeal cookies too.
I’ll look for Bundaberg!
