Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package (15 to 18 ounces) spice cake mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, ginger and baking soda until well blended.
  • Stir in the water, molasses and vanilla and mix well.
  • Cover and place the dough in the refrigerator to chill so it will be easier to roll into balls, about 1 hour.
  • When you are ready to bake, position an oven rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease.
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal-size portions and roll into balls.
  • Place the balls of cookie dough spaced 3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Flatten slightly with a glass coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake until the surface of the cookies crack and they are firm, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute and then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Repeat with remaining cookie dough, being sure that cookie sheets are cool before using them again.
