Happy Holidays from Your Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor!

Everyone at Design Comfort wishes you a very Happy Holiday! We hope you enjoy this time with friends, family and loved ones. Stay safe and warm this season! Also remember that whatever type of heating system you have, heating maintenance will keep your equipment running safely and at peak efficiency. If you haven’t had your annual checkup yet, we recommend you do so soon!

The holidays are a time to celebrate, and one of the best things about them is the great food. Here is a little treat we found that will make any day even better:

Gingersnap Cookies

“This melt-in-your-mouth ginger cookie recipe that I received from my grandmother has been enjoyed in my family since 1899.”

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon ground ginger

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup dark molasses

1/3 cup cinnamon sugar

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time into another bowl.
  3. Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container.
