List of Ingredients




AQUAVIT'S GINGERSNAP COOKIES
Recipe courtesy Marcus Samuelsson
TVFN, Sweet Dreams, Show #SD1B30: Scandinavian Sweets

1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 egg
1/3 cup molasses
2 teaspoons powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon powdered cardamom
1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup coarsely chopped candied orange peel

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, cream together the
brown sugar, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the butter until light and
fluffy. Add the egg and molasses, and incorporate well. Sift together
the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well, then
gently fold in the candied orange peel.

Place dough in the refrigerator until chilled. Shape dough into
1-inch balls, dip the top half of the cookie in the remaining 1/2 cup
sugar, coating them well. Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie
sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a spatula to
remove the cookies from the sheet and let cool.

Yield: 12 to 24 cookies
