I'm definitely putting my kitchenaid to work for this recipe!

[@KESHApsychedelic]

ok )))

[@ravenblackbird3046]

Can I use this same recipe to make gingerbread men?

[@anushkasinha6961]

Can I use canola oil instead of butter? And in what proportion to the butter in this recipe?

[@ChocSugaw]

I'm glad that you put this link in,...I've looked everywhere for it this morning,...

[@donalskehan]

Gingersnap cookies are the best! They're called gingernuts in Ireland!

[@richardleston5237]

+Donal Skehan I don't know why but I'd imagine they'd just be called snaps...

[@doriosity5811]

+Richard Leston well played sir, well played.

[@pugsandcoffeeplease]

+Donal Skehan I love ginger's nuts... ;-)

[@weegiewarbler]

+Donal Skehan Yup! Gingernuts in Scotland too! My favourite biscuit.

[@AramAzhari]

and they're called pepparkakor (pepper cookie) in Swedish.

[@DamselJen]

My husband just brought home some crystalized ginger, which he's never done before. I think it's a sign. Eerie

[@luckyfilms7306]

Did he make it ?

[@aeov308]

Where did he get it?!

[@jmbkpo]

Too late people

[@hoptoi]

A E O V I just saw it at Big Lots. Our local grocery has it, along with Organic Food Depot

[@coffeeNlemoncheesecake]

Any psychics in his family?

[@sme7385]

I love Chef, John's soothe calming voice......and his personality is a delight. And you can learn so much from him.

[@AriyeleRessler]

contacting urban dictionary to make sure they add "spatulate" to the vocab list. LOVE ginger in anything. especially cookies.

[@mickeycahill589]

I live for the: "you are the.... Of your..." Phrase. Wookie of your cookie! Amazing!

[@amyfong9647]

I just made these cookies, crispy version. And they are the best and crispiest cookies I've ever made!! Thank you soooo much, chef John!!

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

This makes me nostalgic for when I'd walk into the kitchen as a kid and smell the aroma of a fresh batch of grandma's silent bend-aparts. They didn't have snaps back then because of the war.

[@kimheartsuds]

I made these for my whole family this Christmas (15 ppl). They were a huge hit! Everyone wanted your recipe so I directed them to your channel!!! Thank you Chef John :)

[@enjoyyourlife40]

I just put them out for my husband and adult son to try because I am bringing them as a gift when we visit friends tomorrow and I wanted to be sure they would be good. My husband, who is pickier than a pompous king, loved them! Thank you. I think the cayenne and pepper make them perfect for folks who don't want typical sweet desserts.

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

thanks for the oil tip, will use that next time im dicing 5kg of dried apricots at work

[@CologneCarter]

+CAIDMASTEROFPYRO Let me guess, they got the death penalty and were executed by chopping.

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

+CologneCarter we don't have the death penalty.

[@CologneCarter]

We don't neither where I live. Pity you killed the joke, by correcting the spelling. ;)

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

+CologneCarter lol your joke pointed out my typo, I had to fix it

[@PotatoSmasher420]

What was the typo? I NEED TO KNOW

[@lilwinged5291]

I realized that out of everything I've see on You tube.. cooking shows are the best. Then you set your phone up and make whatever you watch. It's just good for the soul...🥰

[@dianeeharris]

I subbed the white flour for almond flour,and the reg. White sugar for Swerve,my molasses was a reduced amount,and used fresh ginger,chopped and mixed to combine... Lower carb and minimal sigar... Delicious!

[@gweneslinger1746]

Just made a batch of these. Despite initial comments about not really loving ginger snaps the comments I got were "excellent", "YUM", and "tastes like Christmas"! Delicious!!

[@Emimilykity]

I know what I'm making for gifts this year; "gingersilentlybendaparts". My chef will love these.

[@joelp123]

Chef John was the first KZbinr who got me back into cooking. Thank you!

[@emilyames3825]

Excellent recipe!!! Best Ginger Snaps EVER !!! Thank You for sharing

[@Rametetr]

This made me have SUCH a craving for some ginger silently bend aparts.

[@LisaCrutcher]

These cookies turned out really good! They have an after taste that's incredible. I ended up using raw ginger and diced it, since that's what I had on hand. I never heard of the candied ginger, though. I used all the heat you recommended and my husband and I love these cookies.

[@lesliedausey]

I made these a year or two ago. My daughter and I are making them tomorrow and I can hardly wait! They are amazing on their own, but when you use them to make a crust for lemon cheesecake, ridiculous! So, so stinking good!

[@Allioops810]

I just made these and they are absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Next year, more cayenne!

[@lolaj6308]

Ginger silently bend aparts hahahahaahahah Love your sense of humour!

[@paulettesifford1276]

Loved the video and instructions. Simple and direct. Made these cookies and I must say they are beyond delicious. Making another batch for a friend who loves ginger snaps. Thank you!!!

[@melinapiccolo3526]

Thank you for this recipe! I don't have an electric mixer, and sometimes my cookies turn out funky. This recipe doesn't require one, so that makes me happy. I might make these tonight, but I might use some fresh ginger I have in the house.

[@rowdhs7111]

I use a recipe that my grandma used to make for us at Christmastime but she rolled them very small and then you bake them for much less time--so good!!

[@starrynight755]

One of my favorite cookies. I used to get the box of gingersnaps and leave the box open so they got "stale", meaning softer, and chewy. Yummmmm!

[@topaz1x]

These are delicious! I've eaten 7 so far while watching your video again. Everyone's still asleep so I could lie about how many cookies I really made. Lol. I will leave out the peppers next time, although I like that little spicy kick. I'm so determined to eat that eighth cookie. 😉

[@ohmercy5924]

I made these as part of Christmas cookies and candy packages to send my brothers. (Just catching up on comments) They were so good my bro’s were lucky they got any. I love ginger, I often make my own crystallized ginger and ginger simple syrup. I also like heat- hot chocolate and chocolate cakes usually get cayenne. So... when I watched this recipe I knew I was making them. (I sound like I’m baking and cooking all the time- trust me- it’s not usual but I have to say Chef John does get me a little more motivated than is usual.) Anyway, I bought the crystallized ginger because I had enough to do. I started getting all the ingredients together and... OH NO- I was out of ginger. I had just thrown a whole bunch of OLD spices out! I don’t have a car so running out to the store was not Avon option. I did have fresh ginger though and I damn well wanted these cookies. So I peeled a hunk, tossed it in the food chopper, chopped it finely and spread it out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. I popped it in a low oven for awhile till it dried out. Put it back in chopper- couldn’t get it fine enough so put it in the coffee grinder, sifted it and oh my god- divine! I’ll never by ground ginger again. Which since I’m 70 it’s not going to be like I’m making ginger for decades! Lol. Anyway- I got to have my ginger snaps and so did my brothers. Scrumptious. I wish I had added a little more cayenne- next time.

[@etherdog]

Welcome to the Cayenne Channel! This is a 12-step program that takes you not out of addiction, but into it, where Chef John is not your pusher or enabler, but your guru into gustatorial nirvana. I made these tonight and they are fabulous. The cayenne is very subtle--the candied ginger is the real star but the pepper gives it a little kick. Put a little vanilla ice cream between two of these cookies and you have a real 5 star desert. Once again, my toque is off to you Chef John!

[@3elvenrings]

I just made these and they are insanely good. I am having them for supper. Thanks for the calories I don't need, Chef John.

[@kimheartsuds]

Made these last night. Wow! They are so good !!!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

You make people hungry with your cooking and baking. Often during very early hours. Those look very tasty!

[@CreepyUnicorn]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I made them vegan by replacing the butter with vegan margarine and the egg with a flax egg. They turned out so great!!

[@reynazapata1741]

Chef John this is my first video I ever watch from you , let me tell u is just a placer to hear u and how clear and simple u teach ! I will follow u for now on, thanks a million !

[@josephvaldivia7647]

i took the rest of my leftover hot buttered rum batter and used that for most of this recipe instead of going to the t. came out pretty spectacular i must say. I used pickled ginger instead of crystalized too

[@mcatal1960]

By far my favorite chef for just about anything baked or cooked. May I be so bold to add that a light coating of coconut oil or any oil that won’t change the flavor in the molasses vessel makes it race out and pretty much leaves the vessel molasses free via gravity

[@tatyanaalbinder3282]

I can’t wait to make these. They look and sound perfect. Thank you for the recipe and some humor.

[@tmartin2784]

Made a batch of these (sorry Chef John - I left out the cayenne) and everyone who tried them absolutely loved them! I made some softer and some crunchy and both were good, though I preferred the soft version! I'll definitely make them again. Maybe next time I will add some of the powdered ginger to the sugar the cookies are rolled in to up the ginger hit even more.

[@Godschild459]

Omg these are so good. Add the candied ginger it really makes a difference!

[@laurap5412]

It's amazing how no matter what the recipe is, I'll still wanna watch the video. Chef John's humor is the best.

[@TuckerSP2011]

So glad you made these! And very glad you decided to add black pepper and cayenne!

[@kellyyoung9790]

I wanted to increase the fiber in mine, and so I did them with 2/3 parts oat flour. Really seems to help make them dense and chewy, but I'm betting it muted my flavors a tad. Next time I'll try half and half to see if I can achieve a better crumb. These are going to become my new go-to recipe!

[@marybuck5946]

So glad you showed this recipe! Ginger snaps are one of my favs but it's never occurred to me to bake my own (um duh!). And thanks for the oiling-the-knife tip. Brilliant as always!

[@TheProudOne]

Ginger Silently-bend-aparts. Best cookie name ever.

[@salom1470]

Hearing your voice is so relaxing and the recipes are always easy and successful. Love it.

[@crispycrunch5939]

I'm making these for the second time, they're amazing! My family and friends love them too. Thank you for inspiring me to cook :)

[@sharakirkby2744]

Love crisp ginger snaps. One of my favourites.

[@deepseareppy]

Every now and then I love buying a bag of the Ol' Dutch Maid gingersnap cookies; gingersnaps need to have the "snap" in it for me.

[@azulHYDproductions]

Tried them, and loved them! Only, I didn't have baking soda but only baking powder. It still worked-

[@DomSchu]

Chef John, your wookie puns are on point.

[@cloud_lost_in_thought]

"You guys are the wookies of your cookies" I need that on a t-shirt asap!

[@angeljamais8541]

Never thought of oiling the blade - thank you SO much for that suggestion!!!

[@TheKaffeeKlatsch]

Made these and added a little more candied ginger(1/2 cup total) Excellent cookie. QUESTION: WHy use white sugar and molasses when you can use brown sugar?

[@jeangreenfield5993]

My favourite biscuit ! 😍😋🍪🍪🍪 Great recipe, great teacher 💟 The Baker's Dozen fact is fascinating 👍

[@Margar02]

I made the dough last night. About to bake them now. Will report back!!!!

[@Margar02]

Holy moly these were the bomb! I made them twice and took them to various gatherings. EVERYONE loved them. Thank you!!!

[@Margar02]

Still making these. Just made a huge batch last week. YOU MUST TRY THESE

[@piprolls867]

Thanks I love to read feedback before I try out a product

[@olgajimenez3713]

How was it with cayenne and black pepper?

[@kurtklemm7119]

I did those yesterday. They are absolutely delicious. I didnt got the consistancy on point, but they were best though.

[@johnwoods5318]

you are the wookie or your cookie!!! Wonderful; Hello from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. One of these days, I will be making those cookies.

[@raashiraghunath6889]

Yes! Thank you Chef John! I have been planning to make these for my mom's birthday and now I have the perfect recipe!

[@ThoseWhoStayUofM]

Ginger-silentlybendaparts are the BEST!!!

[@minnylouo.lindsay5907]

Best ever ginger snaps 🍪 cookies love chef johns resipes

[@adifferencetosavour]

This is worth a try, i love ginger cookies and i sure love them harsh, so i'll be trying the pepper and cayenne. thanks for this interesting idea.

[@AevelynR]

Just like he wiped his blade with oil to prevent the candied ginger to stick to it, rubbing the inside of the measuring cup with oil helps sticky liquids from taking forever to get out of the cup (ie: molasses, corn syrup, honey, etc). ^^

[@Orlanzepol123]

Not only is this the most interesting cookie recipe I’ve ever heard off with it’s hot and black pepper but your voice and the way you speak is also the most unusual. LOL

[@kimjulyofficial]

Love ginger snaps! I cannot resists ginger treats!❤️

[@aFriCan_Boi]

'''... not ginger silently bend aparts'' 😂😂 Chef John, your the best ❤

[@cara2676]

I've made batches of these for gifts (including chef's candied ginger recipe) and people now think I'm awesome :)

[@MisookSensei]

Ordering some online from here NOW! Deal? LOL! Looks so good and too lazy to make it today.....will definitely do it for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Thank you so much for the demonstration!

[@mzeeriebella]

Absolutely delicious cookies! I like to candy fresh ginger to use in this recipe. I looove foodwishes!!!

[@prettiebabydoll]

this guy is funny, I love the enthusiasm

[@marcyanderson4268]

As a child these were my favorite cookies❤

[@WinryRockbellElric]

Yo these are really good~ and they do hold shapes, if one sculpts them by hand. I did that, and mine turned out to be delicious.

[@Artbug]

My favorite... GINGER-SILENTLY-BEND-APARTS! :D

[@keenedge100]

+Artbug I think the ginger-silently-bend-aparts are better with milk.

[@h1257943]

great cookies

[@BridgettNesby]

I cant wait to make these for the holidays!

[@Herbert04]

I had a problem with the cookies sticking to my cup when I squished them. I solved this by sliding a piece of plastic wrap over them than pulling it off after. That worked great. 15 minutes is better.

[@scyther1141]

your recipes always look delicious. can't wait for your holiday recipes.

[@highplainsliving1953]

I made these, but I didn't have the candied ginger. They did turn out so good. Thanks for the recipe

[@MyShinobiWay617]

Chef John making something easy? It's a rare upload indeed!

[@dlspeed1]

Liking this less clean up...Was raised on Mexican food, so looking forward to this recipe, thanks... ~~~Peace~~~

[@Rockin357]

LOVE IT! I love Cayenne as much as you do. Thank you!

[@umrk211]

I've been looking for this kind of ginger cookies, thanks a lot!

[@CherylKCherylsHomeCookingshow]

Love them, they look INCREDIBLE

[@remedyfarm]

O M G...........!!!!!!!! 😳 I'm gonna overdose on these...😛 Goodbye cruel world. 😇

[@maleechuma2838]

Why are you on here have no use for you can’t Stand your

[@monkeyslugs]

I need to stop watching these videos at ungodly hours that is 3 in the morning.

[@jdh91741]

you are not alone

[@arlynnoel]

I live in a little French town about 2 miles from the border with Belgium. So, the closest thing to ginger snaps we get around here is a cookie called speculoos. They're similar, and I've made them, but yours look better. I usually wake up to a cuppa and a cookie!

[@KellyS_77]

Speculoos are more cinnamon flavored and a lot sweeter than ginger snaps.

[@arlynnoel]

+Kelly S You're right about the cinnamon. The "quartre epice" I use is almost half cinnamon, but I cut back on the sugar, especially the white stuff. The commercial products seem to vary a lot from brand to brand. The ones I'm most often served are pretty gingery.

[@mayasayonara9169]

I feel like using fresh root ginger really gives that nice ginger taste... ☺️

[@ohmercy5924]

Chef John, I’ve noticed people occasionally make a request so I will do so though not something I would normally do uninvited. But it is called “Food Wishes” after all. I make ginger simple syrup but I just cannot get it hot/spicy/gingery enough no matter how long I simmer, how much I reduce. I’ve added peppercorns, I’ve added whole cloves. I want that ginger beer kind of taste which is why I started making it. I use it on everything, in tea, fruit and yogurt, on sweet potatoes with butter, on ice cream, on waffles, on ice cream and waffles! I do put it in seltzer but it’s not the taste I’m looking for. I love beer and ginger beer mixed so I was trying to get that. If you can get around to it - How about a lesson in a hot gingery simple syrup? Please.

[@AmalgmousProxy]

Cinnamon, ground ginger and Cardamon are my go to spices for ginger cookies.

[@aggieschoonover4235]

I will have to try these. The commercial ones often miss that extra spice that all gingerbread cookies must have.

[@tiptoesnowflakewahle6962]

I rarely make cookies too, but you are so entertaining.

[@CoffeeandCrochet]

It ain't a Food Wishes video without a pinch of cayenne 😆 but man I can't wait to try this recipe I freaking love gingersnaps!

[@judiththomas5613]

Love ginger snaps, thank you for this recipe.💕

[@jacquelynpatrick6291]

Have become addicted to ginger snaps. I’ve got to make these

[@tt0050]

It's a pleasure watching your channel, any time. Thank you Chef John.

[@RobertKonigsberg]

Made these last night. Fantastic.

[@SK3564]

Looking forward to making some gingersilentlybendaparts soon! 😊

[@Angelike01]

Cayenne in cookies?! Haha okay okay Chef John, I trust you in that one :)

[@Margar02]

Salma Slaoui check out Mexican Hot Chocolate cookies! They have cinnamon and (in some recipes) cayenne. Absolutely amazing! Chewey, chocolatey, and a slow steady heat that warms your whole body.

[@onesunnyday5699]

Cayenne hot cocoa, OMG. THE BEST

[@happychanrus]

That is a really beautiful cookie

[@jmo5743]

I definitely prefer the crisp! Love Chef John

[@norwegianviking69]

This recipe is similar to our Norwegian style gingerbread, a traditional cookie for christmas. In Norway, they are called pepperkake, which translates to pepper cake.

[@kimberlycarey1384]

Yummmmm! Why do I now feel like the Cookie Monster? COOKIES! I'll be making these today!
