I tried it tonight and am thoroughly enjoying them. I agree complating with Limobarbie to add cayenne pepper and Varre n Robynns Mom to add fresh minced ginger. I will try it again very soon!

I haven't made these yet. I like the idea of cayanne pepper! Has anyone had the gingersnap cookies from "Clarke's Bakery" in London? The best in the world! Searching for the recipe. I know they use baking powder instead of soda! They are a bit hot and spicy.

These cookies are amazing. Very gingery. They aren't crisp, but instead came out with the perfect chewy-yet-firm baking. I got crystallized ginger for cheap from C-mart.

I wouldn't recommend making these if you don't have the fresh or candied ginger. Also, like some of the other reviewers said, they aren't crispy or snappy. Next time I'll probably try a different recipe.

First of all, do not add 1 Tbs. of cayenne as someone said before. They were way to spicy even for the adults. I had to throw the whole batch away. These came out very doughy. Not chewy or 'snappy'. I am cooking at high altitude, but I made adjustments. I was disappointed. I tried them three times hoping for success, but they just weren't what I was looking for.

I will never use another ginger snap recipe ever again!! I think I made my cookies a little larger than I needed to, so I increased the baking time by two minutes. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you!

Loved this recipe! Very flavorful and not too sweet. I will definitely make these cookies again. My only wish is that the cookie was a little crispier.

I was looking for a ginger cookie recipe for a special friends' 90th birthday and this was it. I did add 2 teaspoons of ground cloves and rolled the balls in turbinado sugar. Delicious!! Also, I found crystallized ginger available at nutsonline.com for a VERY reasonable price.
