  1. I have never made gingersnaps before, as I am not a fan of molasses, but decided to make these to take to my coworkers. The only changes I made were to reduce the sugar by 1/4 C and use cinn/cloves/nutmeg instead of allspice, and I decreased the oven temp to between 325 and 350 after the first batch came out way too done on bottom. Oh and the dough seemed way too dry so I ended up adding a few tablespoons of milk. I felt the flavor was lacking in these, and was not impressed with the texture either. They all ended up much harder than I like my cookies (except a very small part of the center), but I suppose that is how gingersnaps are supposed to be anyhow. Not sure if I will try these again or not.
     
  2. I chose this recipe only because I was low on margarine & this one only called for 2 Tbsp so I didn't really have high hopes for these, but I was wrong! We love them! My husband is a ginger snap fanatic and even Mr. Picky thinks they're great! Great recipe Cherry Cola!
