Tooth-Splitting Gingernuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons molasses
2 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons ground ginger

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, egg, and molasses until smooth. Combine the flour and ginger; stir into the molasses mixture until well blended. Drop large teaspoonfuls of dough about 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on the top shelf of your oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 280 degrees F (137 degrees C). Allow the cookies to cool, then return them to a warm oven for 10 more minutes to dry out and become crispy.
