Gingersnaps

Sweet and spicy sugar-coated gingersnap cookies that are chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. These cookies are so beautiful with their signature gingersnap cracks. I had gingersnaps for the first time a few months ago while on spring break in Fort Lauderdale with my good friend Beth. We were on a late night run to the store to pick up something for breakfast in the morning. Beth was craving something sweet so she grabbed a box of gingersnaps and was telling me how delicious they were. I don’t even think we were back at the condo before we already tore into the box and began devouring them!

I loved the spicy and sweet combination of these cookies. For the months that followed our trip to Florida I found myself buying these cookies from the grocery store. I knew that I had to find my own homemade version of these amazing cookies. When I stumbled upon this recipe I knew that I had to make them! 🙂 I made some pumpkin ice cream the other day and mixed in some of these crushed gingersnap cookies. All I can say is oh my goodness…more on the pumpkin ice cream later if you ask nicely 😉 …back to these scrumptious cookies! If you are looking for something to satisfy that midnight craving, look no further! These sweet and spicy cookies are sure to please!
