I've never really liked gingersnaps but these are delicious! I swear I ate about half of the cookies on each cookie sheet as they came out of the oven. I will certainly be making them during the winter holidays and might even take the suggestion of KJD79 to add cardamom. Thanks for sharing!

Good cookies...I added an extra half cup of flour and an extra 1/4 teaspoon of ginger as well as 1/4 teaspoon of allspice. I cooked them for exactly eight minutes and they turned out perfectly, with just the right amount of chewiness!

These cookies came out the perfect texture and flavour! I'm not much of a cook, but I managed to fool some people! These cookies are perfect for giving as gifts, and the dough stores easily.

DELICIOUS!! The recipe is perfect as is. Wonderful combination of flavor and texture. Cookies are crispy on the outside, yet chewy on the inside. Be careful not to overbake. Thanks for sharing!!

I made these for our family Christmas Cookie Day this year, and found a new favorite! My only substitution was butter for the margarine, and they still came out beautifully--thin and crispy! This is a wonderful recipe that will be added to my list of regulars. Everyone loved them!

Add cardamom! It will take your gingersnaps to a whole new level, I promise! 1/4 tsp per batch (or more if you're brave). Cardamom is somewhat peppery, and is the perfect addition to any gingerbread/snap/cookie recipe. I used margarine and butter because we like our cookies chewy. Happy Baking!

these are great. I took another reviewer's advice and added 1/2 tablespoon ginger and they were perfect.

This cookie recipe is wonderful! My husband had requested that I make gingersnap cookies and I had never made them before. He loved them! In fact, I made them yesterday, we gave some away to family, and he requested I make them again today! I think they are great, too. I love that they stay so soft.

Gingersnaps are my dad's favourite cookies, so I make these every Christmas. I like my cookies soft, so I only bake them for 8 minutes. These cookies are nice and moist, and have a great ginger flavour. My grandma even asked me for the recipe!

I made these to go with Pumpkin Dip for an office party and was asked several times for the recipe. I chilled my dough first before baking. It was easier to handle chilled.

These were soft & chewy which is how I like them. Gingersnaps aren't my favorite but these were good. The first pan was really flat & ugly so I added a couple tablespoons of extra flour and the next batch come out much prettier. Maybe it's because I used real butter instead of margarine, not sure. I also added a dash of ground cloves which I don't think affected the flavor much. I made these for my inlaws who are anti chocolate and they loved them.

Oh wow, these were good... and I normally don't like gingersnaps! The only change I made was to use 1/2 a cup of olive oil margarine, and a little over 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (leftovers from previous xmas cookie baking). I added about 1/8 of a cup of extra flour to make up for the extra butter. Turned out wonderfully chewy instead of being hard and crisp the way so many ginger snaps are... lovely!

These are FANTASTIC - I made them quite small so that I could eat more of them :) Found myself grabbing one every time I passed by. I loved the soft texture, and the flavor was excellent!

Excellent recipe. Made a batch to give as a gift but my family devoured them! I added an extra tsp. of ginger and it gave them that extra zip. CAREFUL, they're very soft, may want to add cooking time or add small amt of flour to dough(?).

Excellent cookies! It's hard to stop eating them! I think I would actually increase the amount of ginger next time, although they have a definite ginger taste. I also think 1" balls are a little too small and I made the later ones larger. A great fall treat.
