_THAT_ is a ginger cookie! The layers of ginger plus pepper is super. The sharpnness of fresh and the other tones in dried ginger would bring amazing layer and pepper does a really good job of emphasizing the punchiness. I love ginger so much I would be tempted to leave out the cream cheese centers...
Update: I did go with these, and just made a double batch. Omg, soooo delicious!! This may just be my top contender so far for our office's cookie exchange next week, but of course will have to see the rest too!
Love, love, love Samantha! Last year I watched her technicolor shortbread cookie recipe about we times. Couldn’t get enough of it. And I actually purchased the gel food colors she used and set up a cookie workshop with my grandchildren, who absolutely loved making her cookies. Can’t wait to try this one.
I saw this video this morning and knew I had to make them tonight. They just came out of the oven and I’m waiting for them to cool and my whole place smells like the holidays. Thanks Sam!
If I had to guess (and this is a guess from an amateur), either the ratio of granulated sugar to molasses in the recipe doesn’t quite match the ratio of sugar to molasses of brown sugar (so either you get too much sweetness or too much molasses flavor if you only use brown sugar). Or, creaming the butter with granulated sugar and adding molasses later gets a more ideal texture when compared to creaming the butter with brown sugar. If you use brown sugar it’d probably still taste good, just different than what the recipe intended
I’m sure the ratio can vary but in general the amount is about 9% molasses. So if you have 100g of white sugar, you’d add 9g molasses to get 109g brown sugar. I’m guessing for this recipe, there wouldn’t be enough molasses if you were to use brown sugar alone to get the classic ginger cookie flavor. But it would probably still come out fine.
Granulated sugar gives you a lacy crisp edge while molasses gives you a chewy center. The molasses is also slightly acidic and that’s going to react with the baking soda to give the cookie a more tender crumb. (Source: watching a lot of Claire Saffitz)
Ok I'm answering my own question: yes it worked without powdered sugar. These were absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of gingery goodness 🤤🤤. Now to stop eating them...
I have had such a time with these today. The cream cheese dollops have been in the deep freezer for 12 hours and they are still like loose pudding. I checked that I read the recipe right and I am mystified.
Dear editors, Please don't put the name of the ingredients at random places on the screen and then for only half a second. It might look great for your fellow editors but it's a pain to have to rewind and pause every time you want know what's specifically going into the bowl.
As a Sinhalese, I won't watch this after reading Samantha's comments on how she always felt drawn to learn Italian, French cooking instead of her own Sinhalese. She is a traitor to the Sinhalese race, a hater of proud Sinhalese Buddhists

God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?'

Samantha's presence is such a delight!
love her HBO show! love her and Vaughn together; that would make a great show nudge nudge wink wink

I love ginger so much I would be tempted to leave out the cream cheese centers...
Salted butter in baking - yes! I use it all the time. Happy to see Sam agree!
I hear "ginger-forward" and am ALL IN!
Oh my word, I had no idea you could stuff ginger cookies like this! A whole new world has opened up for me. Thank you, Samantha!
Update: I did go with these, and just made a double batch. Omg, soooo delicious!!

Samantha is SO charming and has such a good energy, what a delight! The cookies look amazing!

How cute is Samantha!!!!!!
Dear gods...these are THE BEST ginger cookies I've EVER made!!! Wow! Extraordinary. Thank you!
These look like a great time!
Sam is a joy to watch and a really talented recipe developer
Samantha 's presence is such a delight
Samantha: "A little CHEESECAKE baby!"
Me: Dies of cuteness
it is always such a pleasure to see sam on the channel, and these cookies are truly out of the park. i cannot wait to try them.
These sound and look so good
Cookies look absolutely brilliant. Love the fushcia sanding sugar; so festive! Sam is always a joyful teacher. 🥰
You had me at ginger and pepper😮😮😮
When I buy store-bought ginger cookies they stay on the shelf unless they have both ginger and pepper. Without pepper the cookies just seem cloying.
I LOVE Samantha and her energy!!
Those look amazing. And so nice to see Vaughn.
I made these last night and they were the best cookies my partner and I have ever had :D
Gotta try them!
That looks so good!
And I love your dress Samantha!😊
These sound amazing
We stan a baker who calls for salted butter!!
I love crystalized/candied ginger. Look for it in packets (maybe near the produce). It is much cheaper than the bottles in the spice aisle.
I leave the foil on, put it in a ziplock bag then put the bag in warm water. It softens without melting 😊
Ya know… this might actually get me to like ginger cookies 👀
OMG Sam! These look spectacular. So excited to make them!😍
anyone else just wait for Sam's annual christmas cookie... all year? lol
LOVE SAMANTHA
Is there a reason to use white sugar and molasses vs using brown sugar? What would the ratio be if i used brown sugar instead?
If I had to guess (and this is a guess from an amateur), either the ratio of granulated sugar to molasses in the recipe doesn’t quite match the ratio of sugar to molasses of brown sugar (so either you get too much sweetness or too much molasses flavor if you only use brown sugar). Or, creaming the butter with granulated sugar and adding molasses later gets a more ideal texture when compared to creaming the butter with brown sugar. If you use brown sugar it’d probably still taste good, just different than what the recipe intended
@chihkeyno that makes sense. Just trying to prevent purchasing items I don't normally keep in stock (molasses)
I’m sure the ratio can vary but in general the amount is about 9% molasses. So if you have 100g of white sugar, you’d add 9g molasses to get 109g brown sugar. I’m guessing for this recipe, there wouldn’t be enough molasses if you were to use brown sugar alone to get the classic ginger cookie flavor. But it would probably still come out fine.

It's just a matter of ease between purchased brown sugar versus buying and mixing your own molasses and white sugar.
Love the cookies can’t wait to bake them all!!!
But! Also I love your dress ❤ where did you get it? 😅
thoughts on honey as a molasses substitute?
Question: can I omit the powdered sugar in the cheesecake mix?? Or is it there for structure etc??
Ok I'm answering my own question: yes it worked without powdered sugar. These were absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of gingery goodness 🤤🤤. Now to stop eating them...
Can I follow the recipe exactly, but without the cream cheese? I’m mainly wondering about cooking temperature and cooking time. Thank you!
When did they stop sharing the full recipe in the videos?
Ok so here is my question. I ship my cookie boxes to people, would these cookies need to be refrigerated because of the cheesecake filling?
I have had such a time with these today. The cream cheese dollops have been in the deep freezer for 12 hours and they are still like loose pudding. I checked that I read the recipe right and I am mystified.
Plz tell me your are going to do the sohla and ham gingerbread house competition with the other couple!?!?
The recipe says 6 oz of cream cheese but it looks like she adds a full block (which are generally 8 oz). Anyone make these and know which is correct?
You don’t have to peel ginger??? This is huge news lol it’s such a hassle 😅
you don't ever have to peel ginger? :O noted
Talented version of Suhana khan
this may be random, but Sam looks like the female version of Shahrukh Khan, or his daughter Suhana Khan
0:05 NO.

Is there an issue with the audio in this video? I didn’t hear a word she said 😍
20 babies...it wouldn't be quiet enough to make the video 😮
non-organic ginger has EXTREMELY high levels of pesticides and definitely should be peeled
You deserve organic ginger!
