Soft Gingersnap Cookies

A soft Gingersnap Cookies! These cookies are perfectly spiced (with just the right amount of heat) and come together with no chilling required! Simple and perfect for this holiday season (though you’ll find me eating them all year ’round).

My husband loves Ginger Snap cookies! Mike’s grandma uses to make them for family parties, they were one of her signature cookies. At least, they were Mike’s favorite, his cousins might love another cookie that she would make.

This cookie is full of flavor and it is so softy and chewy, it will make you feel like a kid, again!
