This really is the best Gingersnap recipe ever. Once I made it (while slightly hung over, I admit) and accidentally used curry powder instead of ground ginger. I don't recommend doing that.. but if you follow the recipe, you'll have great success. If you're paying better attention than I was, following this recipe is a (ginger)snap!

These tasted very good. I didn't like how sticky the dough was - I would chill it next time. Also, it was easier to use a glass dipped in sugar to flatten the balls, rather than the fork. I used a small scoop to form the balls and that worked well. Two eggs need to be added to the ingredients list. All in all, they are nice and crisp; better than store bought! My husband and friend who was visiting for a few days polished them up and couldn't get enough! thanks, Jess! made for PAC spring 09

I loved how soft these were. My husband devoured a bag of crisp gingersnaps I had purhased, but had said he liked them better when he softened them up by putting them in a bowl and pouring milk over them! So it made sense to me to make him a soft ginger snap. He gobbled them up. I think I might have used an inferior ginger, because I thought they needed more ginger flavor. I am going to try again and use a good brand of ginger.
