I love my gingersnaps crisp and so spicy they are almost peppery. I want to try this. Gingersnaps and milk are my weakness in the fall and winter.

I discovered your website while looking for something to do with the hundreds of oranges and satsumas I have in my kitchen right now. I’m trying the orange recipes you posted earlier this year. But, I’m also thinking (like you) that I’ll be making these gingersnaps for Christmas presents. I can’t wait to try them!!

I love the versatility of gingersnaps in fall desserts– to crush them for a crust or a crumble topping. But would you believe I haven’t made a batch of homemade ones yet? This will have to change since you say they are in-friken-credible!

Allen / Farmgirl, I made these on Sunday… WOW oh WOW they are so good. Needless to say they did not weigh down the cookie jar for long…. In fact my boyfriend told me this morning to get them out of the house and to take them to the office… or he would be forced to eat every last one of them… thanks again!!

It’s a bit scary how neat your kitchen is. My kitchen is a mess whenever I bake anything.

Hi Allen,
I’m so glad you had such delicious success with my recipe. Your photos are gorgeous! Thanks for the great review and the link. I love the idea of tossing in a cup of whole wheat flour. I’ve been doing that with lots of recipes (usually white whole wheat for desserts), but haven’t tried it with these cookies. And yes, they make wonderful holiday gifts! I package two or three dozen in little cellophane bags and tie them with curly red ribbon. : )

YUMMY! You know what I finished this week? A box of ANZAC cookies with a ginger twist which I bought from Whole Foods, and was thinking “hhhmmmmmmm – Ginger Snaps from the Cookie Man” (like Mrs Fields in Australia)! Those cookies are more thin than yours and are really crunchy (they snap), but I think the taste would be very similar! You’ve completed my week just with the photo and blog entry! I’m done. Thank you!

Manggy: I hadn’t thought about joining SHF … I’ll let it go for this week. I don’t want to append my post to include SHF when that wasn’t my original intent. Maybe I’ll make a pie in the future :-)

RecipeGirl: I haven’t tried adding pepper but I like the sound of it!

Erin: That’s too f’ing funny! I love when strange coincidences like this happen – we are just in sync with one another :-)

Too bad that you ruined your cookies by adding white pepper though (haha, just kidding). I’m jumping over to your blog now to check them out.
