Gingersnap Cookies image

This is the recie my grandmother gave to me. I have no idea where she got it from. But they are SO yummy! They are crisp and chewy and full of flavor. I usually buy the cloves whole and crush them myself.

I'm allergic to molasses. Can I substitute another ingredient?

These cookies are really good, but they're a lot of work to make. I think I'll only make them for special occasions.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and hard. They didn't taste very good either.

I wish the recipe had included instructions for making the cookies in a food processor. I don't have a stand mixer.

These cookies are a little too spicy for my taste, but I know a lot of people who love them.

I'm not a huge fan of gingersnaps, but these cookies were surprisingly good. They had a nice balance of spices and weren't too sweet.

These were the easiest gingersnap cookies I've ever made. The dough came together quickly and easily, and the cookies baked up perfectly.

I love the chewiness of these cookies. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.

These gingersnap cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They were perfectly crispy and had just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
