My 86 year old mom asked if these were her moms recipe. I told her, kinda but they've been tweeked. She told me I did good, and that they were delicious. I pass this compliment on to you my dear. Bless you.
Instead of reading your blog while I cook, I just watch your videos❤️ you are such a good teacher. Somebody give this woman more subs. She deserves it!
I have used this recipe for 3 years and it always comes out perfect ! Every one loves it when I make it . Thank you for making this recipe easy to follow ! Love all your recipes .. ❤❤❤❤
I made these cookies today for my family’s 1st annual Christmas Cookie Bake-Off ....and my cookies won!!!!! Love this recipe especially because I have adult braces so hard cookies are a no-no. We’ve actually used this to make ice cream sannys , the intense flavour of 2 of them together with the vanilla ice cream is divine. And my family was wondering what the heck I was doing adding cayenne pepper. Soooo good! Thanks for such a good recipe.
Thank you! The price per ginger snap cookie @ Whole Foods is close to 2.00 per cookie. Lol. I am always embarrassed when I buy 12 at a time. Lol. Thank you!!
these cookies are amazing and def the cayenne pepper gives it that kick i was looking for!!! ty for sharing this great recipe, its one of hubbys favorite cookies and this one put it over the top!!!
My daughter loves Ginger snaps. We made them for the 1st time during Christmas, and they’re now her favorite 🤩. Thank you so much, this recipe is perfect. Also it’s true the stickiness doesn’t prohibit from rolling and baking right away.
Not one to usually comment but this recipe was great. I halved the white sugar (as I usually prefer mine slightly less sweet) and added some nutmeg to the mixture of spices. Turned out as chewy as advertised and with nice cracks on the surface! Have tried other recipes in the past which turned out too cakey but this was perfect. Thanks for an easy recipe.
The Recipe I use, which is pretty well identical to yours with a few differences. I use only 1 1/2 tsp Baking SODA and no baking powder. I also use 1/8 tsp of ground white pepper, not cayenne. And 1 cup of Brown Sugar and no white sugar. Will try your version. But I'm betting that it is GREAT. Thanks for this. BTW, hubby and myself much prefer the soft & chewy ginger(non)snaps! Oh and I should mention that I roll my dough balls in Demerara Sugar. Little bit more messier than rolling in white granulated, but we really like the taste of it.
So, I'm wondering your flour edit was a bit hard to decipher. Is is 2 or 4 cups of Flour? The audio was hard to understand. I put in 3 cups and was a bit dry so I added 1 egg and 1/3 of a stick of butter. It was the right consistency then. Thx
Hi Sam. My favorite ginger "snaps" are the soft and chewy type, so I'm gonna try these. A simpleton question: any reason that I shouldn't use my stand mixer? My hand mixer isn’t the best so I'd like to use the big guy. Ok?
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you. I just looked at the written recipe and see you indeed denote the use of a stand mixer. Sorry for the unnecessary question. Regards.
Not sure why everyone is calling these Ginger snaps. My Grandmother made Ginger snaps; they are rolled out into a dough roll that is only maybe 1" in diameter and 12" long. She would freeze large batches of dough that were cut into 12" lengths. Then anytime she wanted fresh ginger snaps, she would just pull one 12" long by 1" diameter section and defrost to a chilled dough. She would cut them into very thin 1/8" round pieces. They came out baked no larger than a quarter and were super crunchy and VERY ginger spicy! You'd just often pop the whole piece in your mouth. Does anybody know that traditional recipe? I wonder if the ingredients are different or pretty much the same. Thanks!
Hi Mishka! These are a soft and chewy version that was requested by many people who watch, but I do have a crispy version if you'd like to check that out!
Followed the recipe and directions failed to say which rack to bake on, middle or lower rack? I baked on middle rack and they came out like flat pancakes but they tasted great!
Unfortunately molasses is incredibly important for the flavor of these ginger snaps. I really don’t recommend leaving it out and there really isn’t a good substitute. I’m sorry. 😔
You can boil some brown sugar and teeny bit of water and it will thicken to a nice molasses consistency and the brown sugar is the same flavor as molasses after you concentrate the sugar
I actually have several muffin recipes. Not all of them have videos but they are all awesome. Here is a link to find all of them: sugarspunrun.com/category/breakfast-2/muffins/

Awesome! The perfect companion to your last video! I love soft cookies, myself, so I would go for these first.
I do love a nice soft cookie too! 😊
Omg.. amazing recipe ❤
Thank you! :)
Love this recipe! 👍
Thank you! :)
My dad and gf love soft gingersnaps and I wanted to make them some but have only made crispy ones before wish me luck and ty for the recipe -w-'
I hope they love them! :)
Yo! The cayenne pepper… I’ve done that for years! Good call!
I made it delicious
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! :)
Soft and chewy
May you please make more sweet and chew cookies recipe's
I do have lots of different cookies available on my site that you can check out. 😊 sugarspunrun.com/recipe-index/?fwp_categories=cookies
I prefer the soft cookie 😊
Oh my delicious!
Thank you so much! 😊
Soft and Chewy!
Perfect! I'm so glad they turned out for you 😊

I’m sorry you had difficulty. It is 2 and 1/4 cup. If there’s ever an issue you can check the recipe below the video
Sugar Spun Run Right On! Thx
Because Molasses Cookie doesn't sound as fun. 😂😂. Thank you! I much prefer a softer ginger "snap" cookie.
😂😂😂 Enjoy!
Hi Sam.
My favorite ginger "snaps" are the soft and chewy type, so I'm gonna try these.
A simpleton question: any reason that I shouldn't use my stand mixer? My hand mixer isn’t the best so I'd like to use the big guy. Ok?
A stand mixer will work just fine here! Hope you love the cookies ❤️
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you. I just looked at the written recipe and see you indeed denote the use of a stand mixer. Sorry for the unnecessary question. Regards.

Hi Mishka! These are a soft and chewy version that was requested by many people who watch, but I do have a crispy version if you'd like to check that out!
I too want to know how to make them ‘spicier’ and super succulent.
I wonder if it’s possible to mix a cookie that is soft, and really chewy.
Do they stay soft for days?
As long as you store them in an air tight container. 😊
I could probably use 2 cookies and turn them into sandwich cookies with a cream cheese filling right? Or would these cookies be too soft?
They are a pretty soft cookie, but it could potentially work. :)
Just made these and they turned out good, although they were a tad too salty
Did you use salted butter? The recipe calls for unsalted, so if salted was used they'd come out salty.
@@SugarSpunRun nope. I only use unsalted butter. Might just be me. The family likes it alright. Maybe i’ll use 1/2 tsp salt next time :)
Followed the recipe and directions failed to say which rack to bake on, middle or lower rack? I baked on middle rack and they came out like flat pancakes but they tasted great!
Always middle rack unless otherwise specified
Can I use pomegranate molasses?
I haven't ever tried it so I'm not sure how it would go. It may change the flavor. If you try it let me know how it goes. :)
Can I add a glaze to the cookies
Sure thing! :)
Has anyone made this with icing? Curious if it would add a little something or if I should just leave them as is
I think they are perfect as is, but a little bit of frosting probably won't hurt. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thanks :) I think I’ll leave them. Can’t wait to try for my upcoming holiday party!
I hope you love them!
What is the difference using melted butter n butter cubes?
The cookies will be flatter and they will need to chill longer if you use melted butter. 🙂
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks for the reply.
ahh, i cant find any molasses in stores where i live. is there any chance i could skip the molasses or is there something i can replace it with?
Unfortunately molasses is incredibly important for the flavor of these ginger snaps. I really don’t recommend leaving it out and there really isn’t a good substitute. I’m sorry. 😔
Sugar Spun Run - it’s all good! thank you so so much for the speedy reply :)
@@SugarSpunRun I see some recipes call for Golden Syrup. Would that work for some people?
You can boil some brown sugar and teeny bit of water and it will thicken to a nice molasses consistency and the brown sugar is the same flavor as molasses after you concentrate the sugar
How are ginger snaps chewy? Are they chewy or snaps?
Def check out my blog post where I discuss this! I have a chewy version and a snappy version by popular request, both of which I have videos for.
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you. Just watched it, as I should have in the first place. Oops!
No worries! I hope you love them. 😊
Is this for 6 cookies?
24 😊
Why is there cayenne pepper in them?
It adds a little flavor. The cookies don’t come out hot(spicy) there is plenty of spice to them but not burn your tongue kind of spicy. 😊😊
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you. :-)
Do you by any chance have a muffin recipe? I really enjoy your videos and would prefer to watch you rather than someone else. 😊🧁
I actually have several muffin recipes. Not all of them have videos but they are all awesome. Here is a link to find all of them: sugarspunrun.com/category/breakfast-2/muffins/
Couldn't tell if you were saying 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 cup flour
It's actually 2 1/4. I add the ingredients and directions in the description in case there is any doubt, you can check it. :)
Why put both baking powder and baking soda ?
Both were needed for the texture I was aiming for
Why not call them gingersoft cookies?
People know them as gingersnaps. Everyone would be confused if I called them gingersoft. With this name you know what type of cookie it is and what the texture is. 😊
I will make these until the gingerbread man cookies hit the stores in december
I actually have a recipe for gingerbread men cookies too! :) sugarspunrun.com/gingerbread-men/
@@SugarSpunRun thank u so much 🙂
no cinnamon?
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
I’m confused. Ginger snaps are hard and they snap. Yet this says soft ginger snaps!??
Just a nice variation on a gingersnap cookie. :)
4:07 that could have been taken out of context...lol
You are talking to fast !
The written recipe is down in the description, if that helps 😊
Made these today and love them! Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed them! 😊
