Hi! I was wondering, do you like this cookie better than the ‘Ultimate Ginger Cookie’ from December, 2008? On one hand this is from Holly B, though the title of Ultimate makes me wonder. But then it has no butter sooo…. :P

Thank you so much for both recipes, it is such a pleasure to see your name pop up in my inbox!

[...] but have yet to zero in on one idea. Should I tackle a tasty and impressive candy? A favourite holiday cookie? Or go for something healthier, and make my signature granola? If you’ve got any suggestions, [...]

I was raised on gingersnaps that are how you describe your ideal ones–to me anyway. Everyone who has ever had them loves them. I can tell from your pics they are denser and darker–and I suspect chewier. The sugar on the outside gives some crispness–whether it is as much as you want I don’t know. They have less ginger but pack a wallop with cloves. I would not normally post a link, but since you asked I hope it is ok:

I have definitely NOT found the perfect gingersnap cookie recipe, and my Mom and I are always talking about this dilemma. My theory is that only a commercial oven can get the results I dream about. I like them dense, chewy, relatively flat, only crispy at the very, very outer edges. If I find them, you’ll be the first to know :)

Guess what we are doing? We are eating these warm, delicious, snappy cookies and the house smells wonderful, or so I was told as hubby came in the door from working outside. He’s sitting beside me in our library with a cup of coffee and has the look of a Cheshire cat.

Thank you, Dana, for sharing this recipe. It’s a home run.

Good for you Dana. I hope you can find some extra time in your schedule just for yourself. You are definitely an inspiration to me. Thank you for all of the wonderful posts you share with us. Each and every recipe looks delicious. My favorite that I have tried thus far is the Southwestern Sweet Potato Gratin. It’s so incredibly good.

Hi Dana I happened on your blog when I typed in savory galettes in a search engine, then realized you are referenced on inpraiseofleftovers. I think it’s great to take a break as I have two little ones and I would be frazzled even though I love to bake & cook. I do have a great gingersnap recipe that made me love gingersnaps. It’s on my blog, here’s the link:

Every December I bake gingersnaps cookies. They are a favorite in the house. Thanks for this new recipe to me.

love spicy gingersnaps, but can’t say I’ve ever made them. I like the crispy ones from Trader Joes broken up over ice cream or greek yogurt. I am glad you have given yourself some time to recharge from the cheffing, I know it gets exhausting.
