Cookies and Tea Towels

 

 

 

There's very little happening here as we keep as warm as we can  and look out at our frozen world.
Of course there's always cookies that I could bake. Baking warms the kitchen nicely. Today's cookies are gingersnaps and I'm using the recipe from Allrecipes.com. I can include the recipe at the bottom of my post if anyone wants it.
 

 When I'm stuck for something to post about I fall back on pretty pictures. Today's are about lovely sewing projects that I admire but can't possibly do.   First off are fancy tea towels.....

 

 

 I'm not sure if these tags are book marks?

 

 

That's it for today.  Thanks for visiting.

 

GINGERSNAPS

 

• ⅓ cup cinnamon sugar

• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon ground ginger

• 2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¾ cup butter

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 large egg

• ¼ cup dark molasses

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place cinnamon sugar in a bowl; set aside. 

    

   Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl.
   Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in white sugar. Add egg and molasses and beat until light and fluffy.
   
   Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture and mix together until a soft dough forms.
   Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll them with your hands into 1-inch-diameter balls.
   Place balls in cinnamon sugar and roll to coat, then place 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. (I used parchment paper)
   
   Bake in the preheated oven until tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes
