Old-Fashioned Gingersnaps
Growing up, Gingersnap Cookies were always a favorite in our house. They were not homemade but I still loved them. But one year my daughter and I had to go and bake some at a Christmas open house. The smell was so yummy as it filled every room. They are so nostalgic and bring back so many childhood memories.Old fashioned Gingersnap cookies are a homemade classic treat packed with bold flavors of molasses, ginger, and cinnamon in every biteYou Will Need Following Ingredients to make them…..All-purpose flourBaking sodaGingerCinnamon and Cloves….SaltButterGranulated Sugar Brown Sugar MolassesSkip the grocery store and make your own!
