Oh YUM! I lost my favorite soft ginger cookie recipe a decade or so ago & never found one that came close until now. I’ve already had 3 of these & they aren’t even cooled off yet. Hopefully they will keep this nice soft texture when they sit for a while. The spice flavors work together so perfectly! Thanks for sharing this one!

These are the best! I was scared of the cayenne pepper but it really made the other spices pop- love the texture- my mom requested these as her treat after a big surgery and they reminded her of my grandma’s from when she was little…but better!

Not for me…👎 These are two tangy, my husband and I both agree we like the original ginger snaps.

Thanks- however I’m not sure why I even asked- it doesn’t look like I’ll have too many left 🙂

In reply to Mary Ann Constanzer. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Mary Ann! I'm glad you enjoyed the cookies. I haven't tried freeing them, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. :)

These are the best- I have searched for years for the perfect textured ginger snap- these are it! Thank yo0 not flat or hard- soft and chewy and just the right amount of spice!! I made these for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. they received rave reviews and requests for more. One question- has anyone tried freezing them ? Is that possible?

In reply to Colleen. Was your butter melted? That I have heard makes a flat and hard cookie

Colleen, very strange, are you sure that everything was followed to the letter? I just made these two days ago exactly as printed and oh my gosh. These are now my all time favorite cookie!! Soft, chewy and addictive. In fact, I need to make another batch, cause they are running out. Everyone loves them.

In reply to Colleen. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Colleen! Did you make any substitutions? Any other alterations? Did you weigh your flour? Unfortunately it sounds like something may have accidentally been mis-measured. :(

I have made many ginger snap recipes. These cookies were flat , overcooked and hard after cooking for 10 minutes. Followed recipie exactly. Will never make again. Too bad they were going to go in a Christmas present.

Been making these cookies for a year now with light brown sugar and they’re just perfection every time.

I ran out of cayenne so I omitted it, but these were amazing! I skipped rolling them in sugar since they’re being served beside a hot cocoa dip and I baked slightly smaller cookies (1 Tbsp) for 10 minutes. So soft and made my kitchen smell great.

Made these for the first time this time to give out to friends and family with some other tried and true treats and things the cookie everyone loves. Hands down the best ginger cookie I’ve ever had. The cayenne is a perfect touch of heat.

This will be my third year making these. They are delicious. The cayenne is a must. I had been looking for a ginger cookie that was soft and had the spicy kick I wanted…and believe they should have. This recipe hit the mark on all points. I always double it otherwise I’m not sharing. Thank you for making me happy

I made this exactly as written. The Cayenne was off for me, a strange addition for a sweet cookie. I’m not a super sweet person, but a weird taste (and after taste) for a cookie.Might work for some, but not for me. Most SSR recipes are great, thanks for giving us things to try.

In reply to Zaza.

I made these yesterday, a tad on the bigger side but they still crinkled nicely, as well as soft and chewy. If I weren’t sharing them, I’d crank the cayenne pepper up to maybe a teaspoon (I like that little kick from the pepper). Very good recipe, I would absolutely recommend @
