GINGERSNAP COOKIES



Gingersnap Cookies image

I was following my mother's recipe for ginger snaps and realized I had used the wrong ingredients right away, so rather than throwing it out and starting over, I made my own recipe, and they turned out even better. I just had to share my 'mistake' with you all because I can't believe how good these are. They turned out so delicious, moist, and chewy. I hope you enjoy them.

  • If you want your cookies to have a chewier texture, use molasses instead of white sugar.
  • Adding a pinch of salt to the dough will help balance the sweetness of the cookies.
  • For extra flavor and texture, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to your dough.
  • Feel free to experiment with different shapes and sizes for your cookies. They can be rolled into balls, flattened into disks, or cut into any shape you like.
  • To make sure your cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
