Gingersnaps

You'll love these perfectly crisp and chewy gingersnap cookies, they basically taste like Christmas! Every holiday cookie platter needs some of these easy to make and delicious cookies.

Gingersnaps are one of my favorite holiday treats. Not too sweet, perfectly spiced, and they have a great texture. I roll them in cinnamon sugar before baking but you can enjoy them plain or flatten/roll them out then drizzle with a glaze or royal icing after baking.

Okay, his perfect baking/cooking aside... I wanna know how he's so happy... I'm a teen who just shifted places and I feel like I don't belong and all that shit... Anyway... I'm not even interested in cooking or something. I only watch his videos because he looks so damn happy... It almost makes me happy.

For those of you that Don't Have Molasses or dark brown sugar (but do have some experience making a caramel) if you make a caramel using: light brown sugar + some pure maple syrup + some espresso- you will have a wonderful molasses substitute complete with the bitter notes, for those of us with an incomplete pantry XD

I love all of the smells because ginger snaps are my favorite cookie so even smelling the seasonings makes me happy.

It's never "just food" with you. It's always about loving on your family.

Usually I imagine gingersnaps to be super crisp which I'm not a fan of, but this recipe looks delicious: crisp on the outside and soft in the inside! Will have to try it.

The part of Canada that I come from has a Ginger Snap cookie that was incredibly flat like almost a were amazing and enjoyable dipping in my hot cup of English tea. Oh my mouth is watering.

I LOVE the smell of molasses. My grandmother used to make homemade buttermilk biscuits, top them with butter and then she'd drizzle sorghum molasses over them. We had them along with eggs, croquettes, savory grits and fruit on Sunday mornings... takes me down memory lane.

Hi, John, if you want to add an extra kick to your ginger snaps, try adding 1/4 tsp cayenne. Yummy!

Simply love the taste of molasses. Gingersnaps are the best.

Tried your recipe. As I do not have a scale, and as I was intimidated by how you said not to compress the flour, I sifted it directly into the measuring cup. Everything else went well until I tried to make the dough. It was entirely too wet and sticky, so I added flour, and more flour, and again more flour so that I could hope to form balls as you did. I must have added somewhat more that a cup of flour before I seemed to have a remotely workable mass, although still very sticky. They became easy enough to manage once I rolled them in sugar. I had no sanding sugar. The end result were huge 13+ centimeters across, soft, cake like things that looked like models for the planet Mars, and the taste, HEAVENLY! They are not what I would ever call a ginger snap, more like ginger bread, but softer. Oh, and I used margarine instead of butter, if that makes a difference. Not very sweet at all, but absolutely amazing. I'm keeping this recipe.
Oh, and you asked who likes molasses. I have never been fond of the taste, and my kids hate it, but when I was growing up, my mother put it on our pancakes because syrup was too expensive. This is the first time I have tasted it since childhood. It brings back memories.

The song reference at the start I love it

I’ve been waiting for your ginger snap recipe. I wanted to make them but when I looked on your channel about a week ago you didn’t have any recipe. I was so sad, but here they

My mom and grandparents used to make fried molasses — stinks to high heaven! I can’t eat it, but agree it’s great in recipes.
