These gingersnaps are a bit too spicy for me, but I still think they're pretty good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gingersnaps turned out flat and hard.

These gingersnaps are really good, but they're not as crispy as I would like them to be.

The dough for these gingersnaps was too sticky to work with. I had to add a lot of flour to get it to the right consistency.

These gingersnaps are a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of ginger next time.

These gingersnaps turned out amazing! They were crispy around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. The molasses gave them a wonderful flavor.
