Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the vegetable shortening and the dough's granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Start with room temperature shortening for easier creaming.

  2. 2

    Beat in the egg until well combined.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the leaveners and spices are evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the molasses and cooled coffee until combined.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  5. 5

    Add about one-third of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed, then add half of the molasses mixture and mix. Repeat, ending with the final third of the dry ingredients.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Mix until just combined after each addition to avoid overworking the dough.

  6. 6

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Aproximativ 30 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Chilling the dough makes it less sticky and easier to handle.

  7. 7

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

  8. 8

    Place the coating sugar into a shallow bowl.

  9. 9

    Scoop the dough and roll it between your palms into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

    Nota bucătarului: A small cookie scoop can help make uniformly sized cookies.

  10. 10

    Roll each dough ball in the coating sugar until it's fully covered.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

  11. 11

    Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them for spreading.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  12. 12

    Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.

    Aproximativ 12 min.

    Nota bucătarului: For a chewier cookie, be careful not to overbake. They will firm up as they cool.

  13. 13

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Aproximativ 12 min.
