What a great recipe- the house smells wonderful, they look pretty, and they have an awesome taste. My 3 year old neice is here, and I gave her two when they came out of the oven. I could hear her sitting at the table going m-m-m-m when she was eating them. She brought me her plate, and when I told her to put it in the dishwasher, she said "I think I need more." After sampling one myself, I have to agree, I think I need more too. lol. So I am making myself a cup of tea and am going to sit down and savor some of these. I would love to know how they taste after they have had a couple of days for the flavors to mellow, but I am sure they will be gone when the kids get home from school. Great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing this family treasure.

Sooooo delicious. Fresh out of the oven, they were possibly some of the best cookies I've ever eaten. We enjoyed them with vanilla ice cream. My only change was using all butter instead of shortening. Very tasty!!

Great recipe. I followed the recipe to the letter, however I did substitute butter for shortening. They turned out fantastic! Next time, I think I would add a little more cinnamon and a little less ginger, because I prefer a more cinnamon-y taste. Overall, a fantastic recipe, and super easy to make!

I can't believe I haven't rated this recipe before now. I have made this recipe countless times, and I always have to double it. This is by far the recipe I have used the most from this site. These cookies are addictive, I don't usually make them unless I plan to give most of them away because I can't leave them alone. I usually cook them for about 9 minutes or so, when they are at the stage where they look like they could use another minute. They are best chewy, in my opinion, but if you like crunchy cookies then leave them in a little longer. I have many requests and compliments for these cookies, from co-workers and family. My 17 yr old daughter has made them for her friends and gets requests for them also. If you love the taste of traditional gingersnaps, (but prefer not to eat 'rocks') this recipe is for you. Crispy outside, chewy inside, absolutely delicious. Oh, the only thing I do different is use butter rather than shortening, I never have shortening on hand.

This makes a very pretty cookie with the crackles and the sugar coating. If you want them chewy you have to take them out before they look done, just as they start to crackle. Also good as a crisper cookie. I used butter flavored crisco and they turned out great.

I found the recipe yummy but not enough spice, even though I added cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. On the first recipe I also used demerara (evaporated cane juice) instead of white sugar, and whole wheat flour. I made no changes to proportions. My husband found it too sweet for a gingersnap, so the second time 'round I made the same changes as the first time, plus I reduced sweetener and used splenda for some of it (1/2 c Splenda, 1/4 c demerara). I also doubled the ginger. Still yummy, although a bit of aftertaste from the splenda (not fault of recipe!). I gave it four stars instead of five because of the sweetness and lack of punch.

Awesome! For the Cinnamon mixture that you roll them in, I used 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp. of Cinnamon. Great Cookie!

These were very snappy cookies! Perfect with a cup of tea. I followed the recipe exactly except I used baking powder instead of soda. They came out well-crinkled. I will need to practice more to get the right size!

Very yummy! Used golden crisco and loved the texture and slight buttery flavour. Next time will add a bit more ginger and maybe cloves to give a little more spice.

These are the BEST tasting gingersnaps I have ever tasted. I made them for my family for the holidays and the were stunned. I only added a dash of nutmeg and they were perfect.

I followed this recipe with exactness, and they came out a lot flatter than a lot of the pictures. They are fine for a gingersnap, but I think I prefer "big soft ginger cookies" to these.
