Soft Gingersnap Cookies #Christmas #Cookies

Gentle gingersnap cookies made with molasses and the warm wintry weather spices ginger and cinnamon. A circle of relatives preferred that my family loves especially when cold weather’s here.

We’ve been making this gingersnap cookie recipe for years. My husband became yearning them, so he pulled up Barbara Bakes on his iPad and searched for them. They weren’t on my website online but. So he determined to lead them to and feature me take pics so I should share the recipe with you, and that they’d be on Barbara Bakes the following time he wanted to lead them to.

My sister-in-law gave us the recipe approximately 35 years in the past when we first were given married. I trust she were given the recipe from her mom. I haven’t tweaked the recipe very a great deal of the years. It’s got a pleasing balance of spicy and sweet.

The cookies have the conventional gingersnap crinkled top and crisp edges, but we like to bake them so the centers are tender and chewy. in case you pick a crisp gingersnap, you can cook dinner the cookies a couple of minutes longer.
