Crunchy, Spicy Gingersnap Cookies
Donna Urso
Crunchy, spicy, and yummy are all words used to describe a good gingersnap cookie.
While my hands-down, favorite cookie is a gooey chocolate chip cookie I occasionally crave a spicy ginger snaps cookie orthis molasses cookie. This old-fashioned gingersnap cookie is a winner. It's easy to make and will be a favorite in your recipe rotation.

Gingersnaps Cookies |
In the U.S., gingersnaps are usually drop cookies with lots of cracks on the surface. That's exactly how I like them. Those found in other countriesmay be thinner and sliced. TheLebkuchen, a traditional German cookie, and the pepparkakor, from Sweden, are often cut into festive shapes. My gingersnaps are round.

Yummy Ginger Snaps |
How long do I bake my gingersnaps?
Oven temperatures differ. Start with baking for 10-12 minutes until browned and the centers are set. This timing gives me cookies with a crunchy outside and tender inside.
If you want your cookies extra crunchy, cook them a couple of minutes longer.
