Oatmeal Gingersnaps Recipe

These were good, not great in my opinion. I'll be on the lookout for a better gingersnap recipe but this one will do in the meantime.

I made these for Christmas instead of my usual soft gingersnaps. They are delicious. I agree they could use just a bit more spice, maybe a little more clove.

these are delicious. I added some chopped candied ginger to give it even more snap.

Used butter instead of shortening and brown sugar in place of white sugar, then had to add about an extra 1/4 c. to 1/3 c. of flour to make them the rolling consistency. They were incredible! Loved, loved, loved them!

I love chewy cookies and these are great! I baked them for 9 min. The original recipe has the perfect blend of spices. Yummy!!!

These had a great flavor and my husband loved them. Next time, I'm not going to use all butter (serious flattening occurred!) and I'll probably use a little more flour for more substance. All in all, I'll make these again, but not for company until I get it right!

Great recipe! Delicious cookies! This will become a favorite recipe for me.

Very good recipe. I didn't have cloves, so I used all spice. turned out wonderful. I also liked rolling them into balls - no flattening, they come out as a nice domed cookie.

Very Good recipe! I baked the cookies for 9 minutes, didn't grease my cookie sheet and used medium cookie scoop! Excellent!

These were great! You had the cross taste of gingersnaps and oatmeal cookies. What a great combination. I will be making these again and again.

Made these again today but left them in the ball stage before baking. Liked the size and thickness that they flattened out to be better than the ones I flattened yesterday. Shared them at our ladies Bible study this morning. Big hit!!!

Wanted to try some different cookie recipes this Christmas. Made these this morning for some shut-ins at our church. I loved them and will be pleased to share them. Made them exactly as stated accept used regular oats. I may increase oats just a tad next time but were very good this way. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas from Oregon.

I loved these cookies.... I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening.. I also don't use white flour so I used fresh ground wheat flour.. I only used 1&1/2 cup sugar and I didn't roll out the balls, I just scooped them with my melon baller and I did not sugar them again nor did I flatten them.. Oh, and I also used some crystallized ginger... YUM!!!

I really liked them the first time I made them, however I would cut the sugar by about a quarter cup the next time. I found rolling the balls in sugar along with the amount of sugar in the recipe made them too sweet. I found the flavor had mellowed and were better the next day.

Yummy. Only thing I would change for next time is maybe adding more oatmeal

These are so yummy and so very easy. The recipe is perfect just as it is, only change I made was parchment paper instead of greased cookie sheets. I always have better luck with lined pines. Thanks for sharing.

to GraminMaine...I don't use shortening either. I use butter or coconut oil.

Great little cookie!! sfarrell1007, your addition of candied ginger is out of this world!!! Graminmaine, why don't you sub applesauce or oil for the Crisco and chill your dough? Worth a try. Think Imight use brown sugar instead of white. Thanks for all the great reviews and suggestions.

Thank you Sherry Harke for sharing this wonderful treat with the rest of us. My kitchen smelled like ginger and cookies and "YES COLLEEN" like Christmas. If you have not try'd it and got a warm and fuzzy feeling of Christmas, dont humbug the rest of us, keep it to your self. A merry Christmas to the rest of you all out there. I'm having me some of those cookies and a warm glass of milk looking at my tree all lit up.

Pretty good recipe. Think i will increase the ginger a bit, maybe even add some cinnamon. Easy to make.

Yummy! Great to have a recipe where all of the ingredients are already in my pantry, so it can be made without a trip to the store for specialty ingredients. I used a cookie stamp instead of the bottom of a glass to press down the cookie. The cookies will spread, but the impression from the stamp was still visible. Use a tree, bell, or ornament stamp to make them extra "Christmasy". Smell reminds me of fresh baked gingerbread. What could be better for Christmas than the smell of a gingerbread house, but you get to eat it right away!?!

These were so easy to make even my 14 yr old made them on her own. They are simply delish! This recipe will go into my favourites that is certain.

Super Cookie Recipe. I already put it in the family cookbook I am putting together. I made them today after I made some minor adjustments for high altitude(we live at 9000'). I added red, green, and white sprinkles to make them Christmasy.

Great taste, smell, texture and appearance and made the house smell wonderful.

What do you use for shortening? I don't like using Crisco. thanks.

I loved the texture and taste of these cookies. I added some finely chopped candied ginger for added zing.   It was excellent! I love ginger cookies at Christmas! Nothing like that spicy aroma to make your house smell like the Holidays! Also, you can mix a bit of gold metallic powder in with the sugar that you roll the balls in to make them glittery and more festive!

good cookies - keeper recipe - I also used regular oats, seemed to work out well. Wasn't very long & cookies were gone, so family liked them.

My new favorite gingersnap recipe! The oats are really a nice change to this easy to bake batch of cookies. Plus there is nothing better than the aroma that wafts through your kitchen than cinnamon, cloves and molasses. The cookie itself looks beautiful, I had one warm out of the oven- cant wait to see how they are later in the afternoon! I dont buy quick cooking oats so I put in regular oats- not a problem in the switch as far as I can see- taste.
