It wouldn't be the holidays without a handful (or two) of scrumptious gingersnap cookies – and this recipe is tops!
Gingersnap cookies: the perfect marriage of crunchy and chewy
We spent the weekend before Christmas in Whistler with our dear friends Ryan and Lisa. We hiked out to find the perfect Christmas tree, sipped wine by the fire and, best of all, gorged on decadent gingersnaps.
These were the best ones I’d tried (and tried and tried) so I was slightly concerned that Lisa wouldn’t divulge her recipe. Turns out it wasn’t a family secret but a lucky find from her good friend Google: Grandma’s Gingersnaps from allrecipes.com.
These cookies are the perfect marriage of crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. And I can certainly recommend dunking any leftovers in your Baileys and coffee the next morning.
I can’t remember if we both had the same idea or if one of us copied the other, but we both like to make large batches of cookie dough and freeze it so that, in a pinch, there’s always an easy dessert on hand.
Thank you Lisa for sharing this holiday treat!
