Gingersnap Cookies – Hot, Hot, Sweet

I ever say people I’m non a cookie eater, but I guess that depends on the cookie, since when it comes to these gingersnaps, I can’t larn enough. As shortly every bit these cool, I chain-eat them until they’re gone; but that’s non my fault. I blame the amazing spicy-sweet flavor, as well as irresistible texture.

Speaking of irresistible texture, I’ve got approximately homework for you. You’re going to convey to brand batches of these to detect out your ain optimum baking time. I know, it’s difficult work, but yous require to somehow detect a way. 

Depending on the exact size of your dough balls, as well as how crispy, or chewy, yous wishing these, the baking times volition vary from 10 to fifteen minutes. As far every bit ingredients go, the crystalized ginger is technically optional, but non likewise difficult to detect (check the volume section), as well as it actually gives the cookies that extra boot of ginger flavour as well as heat. 

Obviously, yous tin also accommodate the spices to suit your tastes, but don’t brand these likewise mild. They’re called “snaps” for reasons other than their texture. I actually promise yous laissez passer these a seek soon. Enjoy!
