What's the best part of the muffin????? The top, of course!! These spicy muffin tops remind me of soft gingersnaps, so, whether a muffin or a cookie, they are truly delicious.
Ingredients: 1/3 cup butter, softened, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1 egg, 3/4 cup molasses, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon coarse sugar.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 inches apart onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm (but they are good cool too!).
Makes 7-8 Muffin tops.
