Gingersnaps

I do like ginger snaps but have never made them. My mother used to....and she made the ones you cut out with a spam can? I think they are called Aunt something but they are like a gingerbread cookie...then you ice them....very good!

hi lilybug, my dear friend, i love to bake different things and cooking and baking is a thing that i love to do. its a nice timepass for me. i have alos tried them and they turned out to be good. this recipe is from my one father's friend's wife.when she came to our place i served her homemade chocolate chip cookies which i had baked a few hours bak. she loved them very much and there she gave me the recipe of this gingersnaps. when i tried them, they turned out to be really cool. i loved to see that everybody loved it. here is the recipe . 1 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup molasses 1 egg 2 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1/3 cup white sugasr for decoration preheat oven to 375 degrees. now n a large bowl mix togethr the oil, molasses, brown sugar and egg. now combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves and ginger . stir into the molasses mixture . roll the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls, roll each ball in white sugar before placing 2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. bake for atleast 10 -12 minutes. in the preheated oven. then check if its done and serve . done.

Those sound good. I've never really cared for the store bought ginger snaps because they're crunchy and the ginger is a bit too strong but soft ones sound yummy. I made gingerbread men for the first time a few weeks ago. they turned out soft and really tasty. they were eaten up pretty quick :-)

Never made any. My hubby sometimes brings a bag of them home. I cannot say I am too fond of them. Soft gingersnaps sound interesting. I might give those a try.

I think I'd like soft gingersnaps. I don't like the crunchy kind they sell in stores. I'm not crazy about crunchy anything really, I have overly sensative teeth.

I don't think I ever had soft ginger snaps, they usually always kinda hard. I wish i could try them I'm sure they good.

I would probably like your recipe for the soft ones. I like ginger snaps, but I do not understand why they have to be so hard. I guess they were made with dipping in mind. The soft ones that you are talking about, I could probably deal with, since I do like ginger cake.

Not sure what ginger snaps are, but if they are anything like ginger bread, then I probably like them!
