These are the best molasses cookies ever! They have a really strong flavor and are soft and chewy. However I have no idea if they are actually Canadian; that's just what they're called.
1 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbls. fresh grated ginger root
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, stir together the molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, and egg. Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger and salt; add to molasses mixture. Mix until well blended. The dough is very sticky, so keep your hands wet with water to roll the dough into little balls. Place balls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. They spread a lot while baking and you don't want them to meld into one huge cookie because then they don't bake to the proper texture. Bake until edges are golden, about 8-11 minutes, you'll have to check. They should be kind of gooey still but noticeably cooked. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes before removing, they use this time to set/finish cooking.
