Back to Basics

There are a few staple cookies one must always have in their cookie repertoire, and in my book Gingersnaps are part of that repertoire.


After making my Gabriel's Favorite Cheesecake with hard crunchy ginger cookies, I found myself craving a batch of soft aromatic scratch made Gingersnaps. They are so easy, so tempting, and so satisfying!
