YOUR TIME IN THE KITCHEN

Make something good.

01
Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease the baking sheet with the separately listed greasing butter, keeping the batter butter for the dough.
02
Cream the batter butter and sugar, then beat in the egg, molasses and buttermilk. Mix the flour, freshly grated ginger, baking soda and salt, then combine with the creamed mixture.
03
Drop into about 30 working cookies on the prepared sheets, leaving room for spreading. Bake until set and golden, using the source 15–20 minutes as a guide.
04
Cool before serving. The 30-cookie working yield uses the source item yield, with one cookie per portion; the baking-sheet coating is a separate working estimate.
