Just made a double batch. A really nice light cookie. Will be making this again for sure. Thanks. I make cookies every Friday to take to work for the weekend during the tourist season as I live out in the boonies and am an interpreter for Nature Conservancy of Canada on their property that adjoins our ranch and have coffee and cookies ready for our tourists. So always on the lookout for extra special cookie recipes - this will be one of them.

I bake alot and these had to be the worst cookies I have ever baked. They looked nothing like the photo and they were so hard - you would have broke a tooth off if you tried to eat one. They never flatten out like the photo - they just stayed in a 1 inch ball - I even tried to make their larger and cut down on the bakng time - nothing helped - they truely were the most awful cookies I have ever tried to make. I make everything from scratch - but this recipe is one to take the cake - not worth getting your mixer out to make!!! BAD BAD!!

These things were hard as bullets. I wondered when I saw how much flour was involved compared to the liquid ingredients. The taste is fine, but the "snap" is from your teeth breaking off

Made many batches and is now a family favorite and everyone asks for more!Excellent recipe and so easy too, works for those of us with diabetes since I use Splenda brown sugar and Splenda for baking. They both work wonderful with this recipe, no one knows it is partly sugarfree unless I tell them. :)

I love gingersnaps! My cookies also need to be tender so I have two great things in one when I make these cookies. Thank you Lara!

These are very, very good! I made these a long with several very good homemade candies for Christmas. These won out over all the other goodies.

These are soft and delicious! So easy to make too. This is the first "from scratch" recipe that I've made and they are such a treat!

I loved ginger snaps when I was growing up, so when I saw this recipe, I got excited. These cookies are soooooooo delicious! I'll probably need to bake another batch since I'm eating so many of them.
