Holiday Snaps

The perfect combination of spices makes these favorite holiday cookies a great complement to our Hermannsberger Mulled Wine. 

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Whisk dry ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Wet Ingredients:
12 tablespoons butter (1-1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup molasses, unsulphered

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add egg and then molasses until well-blended.

Add dry ingredients until well-mixed and dough is even in color.

Shape dough into a log and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to slice.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice dough into approximately 18 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Dip top of ball in raw sugar. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes until top has crinkles. Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

Serves 18.
