SO HOW'D IT GO?
Very yummy and easy! I'm lazy so I used ground ginger instead of fresh. Also added ground clove, freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon. Foe the flour I used 1.5 C whole wheat and 1 C AP. I made mine big, about 2 inches in diameter after baking, because they are going to be the crust of my pumpkin cheesecake. After scooping and placing on the sheet pan I flattened them slightly to an even thickness. They came out perfectly, the house smells great, and they taste really good hot. Thanks for sharing.
Very good cookies! I used plain, unbleached white flour, fresh ginger, and blackstrap molasses. I threw in a couple tablespoons of raw sugar, and sprinkled a little more on top when I took them out of the oven. It was 9:30pm by the time I got them made, and three of us sat down and ate about 2/3 of the batch. Yum! Easy to make, too, and not too many ingredients. Highly recommended. :)
Just wondering, since my boyfriend adores ginger snaps, do these cookies turn out all nice and hard and crunchy, or do I have to make them that way?
