My family loves spicy foods. I created this recipe so that we could even enjoy some spicy heat in a cookie. If you too enjoy the heat, use the full amount of cayenne pepper.-Shari Upchurch, Dearing, Georgia

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gingersnaps turned out too dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These gingersnaps are a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loves them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less ginger next time.

The first time I made these gingersnaps, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added a bit of extra ginger and cinnamon. Both batches were delicious, but I think I prefer the ones with the extra spices.
