I used two tsp. of ginger, added (believe it or not) dry mustard and some cayenne pepper for more zing. Spicey and really good. Thanks Sherry!

I lost my mother's ginger snap recipe. I then obviously came to allrecipes.com I found this one and knew it was a bit different but the ingredients were good so I tried them. They came out thin and crispy, just the way I wanted them. My mother's were not so thin and crispy as I suspect her recipe used butter and not shortening. My DH commented they were just a bit too sweet but I did decorate them with colored sugar. PLEASE NOTE: I used 1 Tbs cinnamon and 2 tsp ginger. I did bake them 3-5 minutes longer but since these cookies crack when baked, it's almost obvious when they are done or need more baking. Best when cooled and thus more crispy!

These were great I dont particulary care for Ginger Snaps but my husband loves them. The only thing I found with this recipe is there is not enough spice in them. I will follow the advice of another person who indicated to add more cinnamon etc.

By far better than any I have ever tasted. Nine minutes not enough in my oven, 12 minutes and they were perfect. My husband thanks you.

excellent cookies. My 3 year old says they are her favorite cookies. I make a double batch every time and put 3/4 of them already into balls in the freezer. That way I can just throw them in the oven upon request and we can eat them warm. I will say that I have used butter as well as crisco and the butter makes a better cookie.

These are wonderful! I used 1/2 cup golden crisco plus 1/4 cup margarine, and blackstrap molasses becasuse thats what I had. I also added 1/4 tsp ground cloves. I think these are the best cookies I have ever eaten. The batch was gone before they even cooled.

I made two kinds of ginger snaps - both from this site. The first were "mom's ginger snaps" and the second recipe was this one. Hands down, this one is the better of the two. The only thing I will do next time is add about 1/4 tsp salt instead of 1/2 like it calls for. That's just a personal preference, though. I also added about 1/4 tsp of cloves for added kick. All-in-all, this is a very good recipe!!!!

These are chewy cookies, not "snaps." I think you should rename them to give readers a more accurate discription of what the cookie actually is.

I found this recipe last week, and I've already made 3 batches! My husband who does not like Ginger Snaps, loves these. I did add 1/2 tsp more of ginger 1/4 tsp cloves, and drk molasses. I also use the green and red sugar crystals for the ones I took to a Christmas party, and people just couldn't get enough of them!

This dough was really sticky and hard to handle. After baking for 9 minutes they looked nice on the top but the bottoms were gooey and the cookies chewy, like they needed to be cooked more. I made the balls the size of quarters - at the end of the dough I made the last ball the size of a nickel and it made the PERFECT cookie - crispy and perfectly baked. If I give this recipe another chance I'll make them all the size of nickels.

These cookies are so wonderful! They absolutely taste like Christmas. They have a rich ginger flavor, and look like store-bought cookies. I didn't have to modify anything. My husband ate about 10 of these every day. Highly recommended!
