Chocolate Gingersnaps
When my daughter, Jennifer, was 15 years old, she created this recipe as a way to combine two of her favorite flavors. They're great with a glass of milk. —Paula Zsiray, Logan, Utah

Hello I'd like to bake these. They look and sound delicious. I'd like to know about the molasses - Is it a 1/4 cup of molasses from a jar or molasses sugar? Thank you
These cookies are so delicious, a great combination of flavors. I just made them for my book group and everyone wanted the recipe!
I brought these cookies into work one afternoon and within 20 minutes every single cookie was gone. Not even a crumb left! Just the right amount of spice and then mellowed by the chocolate. Delicious!
An absolute favorite and the more I share these cookies with friends, the more folks claim it's their favorite too. YUMMMMMMM
This is my favorite winter cookie. It has become a most requested around the holidays.
Baked these for my church's bazaar and people just loved them! I have even got requests to make them again this year.
Impressed that a 15 year old developed this recipe! Will make these soon and rate it here!
