These ginger snaps were delicious! They were the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. I loved the flavor of the ginger and molasses. I will definitely be making these again.

These ginger snaps are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still good. I think I would prefer them with less sugar.

These ginger snaps were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best ginger snaps he's ever had. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less ginger next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I've made these ginger snaps several times now, and they are always a hit. They are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and they have a great snap to them. I love to dunk them in my tea or coffee.

These ginger snaps turned out amazing! They were perfectly crispy and had the perfect amount of spiciness. I added a little extra ginger because I love the flavor, and it was the perfect touch. My family loved them too, and they disappeared quickly!
