  1. Delicious and easier to work with than many ginger cookies
     
  2. These are quite possibly the best cookies I have ever made. My kids keep begging for more. They are easy, delicious, and beautiful. The tops are all crackled and sparkly from the sugar. I did not dip in the white chocolate, but I might on the ones that I'm freezing. They are so good. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed!
     
  3. I found this on Taste of home a few years ago and have been making them ever since. Great flavor and most of the time I just leave out the dipping part. They are just as good.
     
  4. Thanks for posting this recipe--now I don't have to worry about losing my hard copy! I started making these cookies several years ago after seeing them in TOH magazine. Not sure why I made them that first time because I don't generally care for gingersnaps, and I do NOT like white chocolate. But, one bite of these tender delicacies, and I was hooked! The combination of the ginger cookie and the white chocolate is perfect. I made them last year for a cookie exchange, and when a couple friends found out I wasn't planning on making them for this year's exchange, they asked me if I would reconsider. :)
     
  5. Fabulous! I was looking for a good gingersnap recipe, and actually made these without dipping in white chocolate. The cookies were wonderful and very pretty. Crisp but not rock hard, a great texture. Makes a large batch, and I like that it uses oil rather than butter. Stored well, both in a covered container at room temperature and in the freezer. Dipping the cookies in white chocolate would absolutely put them over the top, and I'll definitely try it next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I miss being able to sort through my saved recipes by rating, or even being able to search in what were my cookbooks. ?I miss the forum games/swaps/events. ?I feel sadness for all the time I wasted saving recipes that I can't find and disappointment in the people working at food.com who decided that all these changes were necessary. ?I read in the blog that read-only forums will be back when the technicalities can be worked out. ?But when will I be able to find a recipe in my own recipe box. ?What sense is there in a recipe website that doesn't allow you to search for one of your recipes? ?I used to think that I could start whittling down my collection of paper cookbooks, and hand written note cards because I could find whatever I needed online. ?Perhaps I still can, but not here. ?Thank God I didn't get rid of any of them.
