Ginger-Molasses Cookies

Ginger-Molasses Cookies

by Pam on December 12, 2013

I saw this recipe on Ina Garten’s site[1] and wanted to make them for my kids’ school lunches this week. I wasn’t sure if they would like the crystallized ginger so I had them try it first. My daughter said it was spicy. My son said it was weird and NOT in a good way. After hearing their opinions I decided to only add 2 tbsp of the crystallized ginger instead of  the 1 1/4 cups that the recipe called for. I am glad I did because my kids loved these cookies and have been happily gobbling them up.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking tray with a silpat mat.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until mixed thoroughly. In another bowl, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 1 minute, making sure to scrape the side of the bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until just combined. Add the crystallized ginger and mix.

Scoop the dough with a spoons. then with your hands, roll each cookie into a 1¾-inch ball then roll  each cookie in the bowl of granulated sugar and place them on the sheet pans.

Bake for 13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a minute or two, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Serve with a glass of milk to dip them into (if desired). Enjoy.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls – The Least Scary Halloween Treat, Ever!

When I was asked to join some of my fellow foodies on
YouTube, to produce a video for a special seasonal playlist called “Halloween Sweet Treats,” I sat down and considered all the scary sweets
recipes in my repertoire. After several minutes of deep thought, I realized I
had nothing.


Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but sticking broken pretzels
into a marshmallow and calling it a “scary spider,” just isn’t my thing. So,
instead of trying to figure out how to make a chocolate truffle look like a
bleeding eyeball, I made a batch of pumpkin cinnamon rolls. They may not be
scary (what’s the opposite of scary?), but they are seasonal, and incredibly
delicious.

I used to joke that when Halloween/Thanksgiving time rolls
around, the only thing a chef has to do to make a recipe seasonal is to add
some pumpkin to it. Chili with a spoon of pumpkin stirred in? Halloween
chili! Dinner rolls with a spoon of pumpkin kneaded into the dough?
Thanksgiving dinner rolls!


Well, that’s exactly what I did here, and while it may be
formulaic, it also produced the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever tasted. One key
is a nice soft, sticky dough. Be sure to only add enough flour so that the
dough just barely pulls away from the side of the bowl as it kneads.

You can certainly embellish by adding some chopped walnuts
or pecans to the cinnamon-sugar layer, but since I decided to garnish with
pumpkin seeds, I went sans nuts. Anyway,
despite not being very horrifying, these really would make a special treat at
any Halloween party. I hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 16 Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls:
(I used a deep 13 x 9 baking dish)

For the dough:

1 package of dry yeast
1/4 cup very warm water (about 100-105 degrees F.)
1/2 tsp white sugar
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup heavy cream (can sub milk, but cream is better)
1 tsp fine salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 tsp allspice)
1 large egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 1/4 cups all purpose flour (divided), or as needed 
 (add enough flour
to mixer so that dough just barely pulls away from sides, and a very soft,
slightly sticky dough is formed)
*knead for at least 6-7 minutes

For the filling:
5 tbsp melted butter, brushed on rolled dough
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon

*For the glaze:
1/4 cup room temperature cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk, or as needed
1/4 tsp vanilla extract, optional
*adjust glaze by adding more powdered sugar or milk to
achieve desired consistency
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds to garnish

If you don’t want to make the caramel praline topping, then drizzle over some melted chocolate.

Method

  1. Roll our the pastry thinly to line tart tin. Chill the pastry case for 30 minutes.
  2. Set the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake for 15 minutes. Take out the paper and beans and cook for another 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Leave in the tin to cool. To make the filling: Heat the caster sugar with 3tbsps water in a heavy-based pan without stirring, until dissolved.
  3. Turn up the heat and boil for 10 minutes, watching it, until it turns a rich amber. Take it off the heat and add the cream straight away (it will bubble up, so watch it) and stir in the muscovado sugar, butter and syrup. Put back on the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened and a darker brown. Take off the heat and add the salt. Cool for 10 minutes, then pour into the baked tart case, cool and chill until set (overnight is best).
  4. To make the topping: put the granulated sugar and 2tbsps water in a heavy- based pan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and bubble until it turns amber. Swirl the pan occasionally, so it colours evenly. Add the almonds and cook for 1 minute, stirring, then pour onto a foil-lined baking tray, which has been oiled. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. To serve, crack the praline into shards and scatter over the tart. Sprinkle with more salt.
