Since I'm a longtime cinnamon fan, I decided to give traditional gingersnaps a different twist. My husband and son agree I spiced them up just right. We live on a ranch overlooking the ocean and also own a machine shop business.

These cookies are delicious! I used Vietnamese cinnamon in the recipe and added some to the sugar used to roll the dough balls in. When forming the balls, I used a level 1T. scoop of dough and the recipe yielded 38 cookies. I love them - they are sooooo good!

I've made these twice now and they were a hit. I love traditional ginger snaps and these are now another favorite. I will definitely make them again soon.

Perfect! I make these all the time; however, today, I was short on Crisco, so I used 1/4 c. shortening and 1/2 c. margarine; it definitely made the dough more wet and sticky, and the cookies baked up more flat. Still delicious, but don't substitute for the shortening!

I made these for our Christmas potluck. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used heaping teaspoons of cinnamon. Everyone loved them. One gal kept going back for seconds, even before we actually ate our main meal. The cookies had a great flavor and were soft and chewy. At only about 65 calories per cookie, they are perfect remedy to assuage that sweet tooth. I will definitely be making these cookies again.

These are some seriously good cookies. Because of the molasses in them, they remind me of old fashioned ginger snaps. Without the snap - which is even better. Soft, chewy, perfect goodness.
