    This makes me nostalgic for when I'd walk into the kitchen as a kid and smell the aroma of a fresh batch of grandma's silent bend-aparts. They didn't have snaps back then because of the war.

    These cookies turned out really good! They have an after taste that's incredible. I ended up using raw ginger and diced it, since that's what I had on hand. I never heard of the candied ginger, though. I used all the heat you recommended and my husband and I love these cookies.

    I just put them out for my husband and adult son to try because I am bringing them as a gift when we visit friends tomorrow and I wanted to be sure they would be good. My husband, who is pickier than a pompous king, loved them! Thank you. I think the cayenne and pepper make them perfect for folks who don't want typical sweet desserts.

  • @topaz1x
    @topaz1x 6 років тому +8

    These are delicious! I've eaten 7 so far while watching your video again. Everyone's still asleep so I could lie about how many cookies I really made. Lol. I will leave out the peppers next time, although I like that little spicy kick. I'm so determined to eat that eighth cookie. 😉

    I subbed the white flour for almond flour,and the reg. White sugar for Swerve,my molasses was a reduced amount,and used fresh ginger,chopped and mixed to combine...

    I made these a year or two ago. My daughter and I are making them tomorrow and I can hardly wait! They are amazing on their own, but when you use them to make a crust for lemon cheesecake, ridiculous! So, so stinking good!

  • @ohmercy5924
    @ohmercy5924 4 роки тому +7

    I made these as part of Christmas cookies and candy packages to send my brothers. (Just catching up on comments) They were so good my bro’s were lucky they got any. I love ginger, I often make my own crystallized ginger and ginger simple syrup. I also like heat- hot chocolate and chocolate cakes usually get cayenne. So... when I watched this recipe I knew I was making them. (I sound like I’m baking and cooking all the time- trust me- it’s not usual but I have to say Chef John does get me a little more motivated than is usual.)
    Anyway, I bought the crystallized ginger because I had enough to do. I started getting all the ingredients together and... OH NO- I was out of ginger. I had just thrown a whole bunch of OLD spices out! I don’t have a car so running out to the store was not Avon option. I did have fresh ginger though and I damn well wanted these cookies. So I peeled a hunk, tossed it in the food chopper, chopped it finely and spread it out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. I popped it in a low oven for awhile till it dried out. Put it back in chopper- couldn’t get it fine enough so put it in the coffee grinder, sifted it and oh my god- divine! I’ll never by ground ginger again. Which since I’m 70 it’s not going to be like I’m making ginger for decades! Lol. Anyway- I got to have my ginger snaps and so did my brothers. Scrumptious. I wish I had added a little more cayenne- next time.

  • @tmartin2784
    @tmartin2784 4 роки тому

    Made a batch of these (sorry Chef John - I left out the cayenne) and everyone who tried them absolutely loved them! I made some softer and some crunchy and both were good, though I preferred the soft version! I'll definitely make them again. Maybe next time I will add some of the powdered ginger to the sugar the cookies are rolled in to up the ginger hit even more.

    Thank you for this recipe! I don't have an electric mixer, and sometimes my cookies turn out funky. This recipe doesn't require one, so that makes me happy. I might make these tonight, but I might use some fresh ginger I have in the house.

    One of my favorite cookies. I used to get the box of gingersnaps and leave the box open so they got "stale", meaning softer, and chewy. Yummmmm!

    I wanted to increase the fiber in mine, and so I did them with 2/3 parts oat flour. Really seems to help make them dense and chewy, but I'm betting it muted my flavors a tad. Next time I'll try half and half to see if I can achieve a better crumb. These are going to become my new go-to recipe!

    Welcome to the Cayenne Channel! This is a 12-step program that takes you not out of addiction, but into it, where Chef John is not your pusher or enabler, but your guru into gustatorial nirvana. I made these tonight and they are fabulous. The cayenne is very subtle--the candied ginger is the real star but the pepper gives it a little kick. Put a little vanilla ice cream between two of these cookies and you have a real 5 star desert. Once again, my toque is off to you Chef John!

    By far my favorite chef for just about anything baked or cooked. May I be so bold to add that a light coating of coconut oil or any oil that won’t change the flavor in the molasses vessel makes it race out and pretty much leaves the vessel molasses free via gravity
