Snappy, Crispy Gingersnap Cookies

[@chuckbodnar5756]

My brother is coming to visit me while my wife is in Calif, This us my 5th batch of scratch Ginger Snap cookies. They are excellent. Ginger Snaps were our favorite cookie growing up so this will be a memory jogger for sure. Thank you so much CB in Hickory NC

[@SugarSpunRun]

That’s so awesome!! That’s a lot of gingersnaps!

[@NickijoeCanuck]

Just made them and they're excellent! Amazing! THANK YOU for a real ginger bite/snap cookie. This is a wonderful addition to my recipe book! (One tiny change is that I used superfine sugar to roll them in, then dipped my glass in the sugar before squashing them onto the tray. By doing that, they cooked perfectly flat and I didn't have to do a post cooked, squish.

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! :)

Love ginger snap cookies!Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@SugarSpunRun]

My pleasure 😊

[@RaumBances]

Thank you for actually making a video about gingersnaps. I've gone through several videos. I don't understand how so many "chefs" on youtube do not understand the simple word snap and make chewy ginger cookies with the wrong name.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have a soft and chewy ginger snap cookie but I label it as such. Some people like them soft but still love the taste. 😊

[@RaumBances]

@@SugarSpunRun I agree but call those ginger cookies rather than ginger snaps. To me, that's like saying a hard boiled egg boiled soft. :)

[@rosee2566]

These are the best of the best of ginger cookies and trust me, I've tried hundreds of other recipes. They remind me of the ginger cookies my grandmother used to make when I was a child. They are delicious and you can't stop at one...... you just have to eat another! They keep very well too. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us all. 🤗

[@marywest2896]

have made these cookies 3 times already. now it's 5:45 am, not being able to sleep I decided to make 3 batches, the only complaint about this recipe is I seem to only get 15 cookies, and I weighed everything as well. every recipe of yours that I have tried has turned out perfect....I have had many failures from following other channels, let me tell you!!! thank you for being a clear and wonderful teacher and baker.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Im so glad you’ve enjoyed them so much! How big of a scoop are you using? It’s really odd that you are only getting 15 without making adjustments.

[@marywest2896]

@@SugarSpunRun I used this scoop that I didn't know what size it was, so I put flour into it with a tablespoon and it was filled with two tablespoons of flower....so I call it two tablespoons, and I evened it out too.

[@BoswelliaLuna8]

Just want to say thank you so much for this recipe! I followed it exactly as you directed and got them just PERFECT on my first try! When does that ever happen, right and I'm not a baker! They are SO DELISH! The suggestion to push them down is awesome. They have just the RIGHT amount of heat, YES girl, you go! AWESOME JOB!!! My mother will LOVE these. She requested them (CRISP and THIN) for Christmas! Your directions and measurements are clear and precise. So grateful! Thanks again, this recipe is saved for future baking!

I made these today (but with Golden Syrup instead of molasses because I already had some and it's much more common in supermarkets in Australia), glad I didn't mess with the spices because I was tempted to add a bit more thinking it didn't seem like enough but they came out pretty much on the mark.

[@SpringRubber]

First time trying your recipe and the cookies came out great! I think pressing them after they come out of the oven is a nice technique. My cookies after the bake were already pretty flat but pressing them is not a hard step -- and no dome on a ginger snap is perfect for me.

Should someone else wish to do this, I substituted Splenda for the white sugar portion of the recipe for my diabetic wife. There was no loss in flavour or texture. For our own preference, I doubled the amount of ginger to give a little more "kick". Perfection!

Thanks for posting how many grams of flour to use would you suggest bread flour or regular flour I'm trying to get your magnificent flavor best ever into a cookie more like the texture and crispiness of the boxed ones from the bisco I grew up with

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’ll want to use all purpose flour. Bread flour will leave you with some chewier cookies so definitely avoid that. 😊

Thank you I will be making this cookies , will you mind telling where you get the little glass cups that you put your ingredients in in ?

I just made this, and omg, are they delicious! To this, already fantastic mix of flavors, I added 1/4 cup of finely minced crystallized ginger , and I’m not sorry 😝 This recipe is a keeper, the only thing I will keep doing differently is the added candied ginger; which would probably be too much for the kiddos and those who walk on the bland side of life, but if you like spice, try it. 😊

OK Sugar Spun Run, I am now om my, 4th backing of ginger snap cookies with your recipe. I looked them all over and your recipe is the best. That little glass squish at the end is a game changing trick. The cookies are just great. My grand kids are putting in orders for more and more. I rend to put a little more cayanne pepper in because most everyone likes the back of the tongue heat. All good stuff. Just a little something for you. Quick and simple Mexican chocolate chip cookies..... Just mix or buy a standard chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. Use the medium cookie dough baller or your hands to roll it in a ball. ( now the secret I'll share with just you) Sprinkle some chili flakes on a baking pan and roll the dough lightly to pick up a few flakes. You do not want to coat the dough in flakes just a few will do. Bake at standard temp and you will have a CC cookie with a built in surprise. Olle' Oui Oui

Ok Thanks for the heads up on where to find the weight of the flower sugar Etc I made these again using the weights provided and they turned out perfect however if I wanted to make them hard like the crappy ones at the store find Nabisco as I like those cuz they're hard enough to dunk them how could I modify the recipe to make them really hard more molasses not sure need help the spicing is absolutely the best out of anywhere where do you get your recipes Grandma LOL

[@eveanna617]

If I use fresh ginger, how will that affect the recipe? Should I just add more flour to compensate for the added moisture? Will that make the cookies any less crispy?

Tryin to do keto or low carb gingernuts we call them that here instead of ginger snaps. But cannot get them crunchy biscuit like. End up dry cake like in middle at best with outer part little crunchy but go burnt, baked 8 flat small-medium size for 25mins 160°c with half way foil over top to reduce them burning on top too much. Any ideas?

Using this recipe? They may have baked too long if they were burning. They shouldn't be cakey. Did you make any substitutions? I wish I could help more. :(

[@KiLLaBushWooKiE]

@@SugarSpunRun no using low carb keto version but similar. Think I've worked it out comin across one video after seeing so many. After baking, leave to cool then you need a food dehydrator or oven on low as possible with door slight open. So they won't bake more but after couple hrs or so then left they will become more biscuit like crunchy without any burntness.

[@mhunter825]

I've made this recipe twice now, going right by the book and I don't get crisp cookies--they came out soft both times. What am I doing wrong?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hmmm a couple of things to try here, make sure they are cooking long enough. If your scoops are a little too big they may need a little longer to cook. Make sure to flatten them. This is a very important step, and finally make sure they finish cooling completely on the pan. They will finish baking here. If these don't solve the issue, and your dough looks just like the video I am stumped. Hopefully this helps! :)

[@junebrown8207]

If you roll out the mixture first like you would shortcrust pastry you would not need a glass after they are cooked to flatten them further. When I was growing up we used to make the dough into a pastry-like substance and roll it out with a rolling pin and then cut out with a plain cutter and then put them onto a baking sheet. This makes life so much easier. It is also called a biscuit and not a cookie as the two are not the same. Whether savoury or sweet a biscuit is more like the substance of shortcrust pastry whereas a cookie is more of a wet dough and is chewy. I live in Britain and this is how I differentiate between the two - cookies and biscuits.

[@TheStoneWhisperer]

Not sure why everyone is calling these Ginger snaps. My Grandmother made Ginger snaps; they are rolled out into a dough roll that is only maybe 1" in diameter and 12" long. She would freeze large batches of dough that were cut into 12" lengths. Then anytime she wanted fresh ginger snaps, she would just pull one 12" long by 1" diameter section and defrost to a chilled dough. She would cut them into very thin 1/8" round pieces. They came out baked no larger than a quarter and were super crunchy and VERY ginger spicy! You'd just often pop the whole piece in your mouth. Does anybody know that traditional recipe? I wonder if the ingredients are different or pretty much the same. Thanks!
