GRANDMA’S GINGER COOKIES

Loading...
Loading...
Okay friends {confession time} – I grew up never being exposed to a ginger snap. I honestly thought that my GRANDMA’S GINGER COOKIES were the only type of ginger cookie that people made. It wasn’t until college at a cookie exchange where I discovered the famous ginger snap cookies.

And wowza I feel in love with those snaps. I vividly remember the brown bag with the orange lettering that they came in and devouring the entire bag with my roommate. I’m pretty sure I was a wall flower that night, not really socializing and instead stuffing my face in that bag of ginger snaps. No shame whatsoever!



While I love ginger snaps, nothing in my eyes will ever beat my GRANDMA’S GINGER COOKIES. They are so soft and chewy, yet have a crispy outer crust. I made these with my mom and siblings every year growing up over the holiday season. Scratch that, we made them at least a dozen times every Christmas. They were the most requested item in our goody bag to our family and friends, well these cookies and my grandma’s BEST EVER ZUCCHINI BREAD.

Now I make these for our family and friends over Christmas with my kids just like my mom did with us. I love this tradition and of course eating one straight of a hot pan and dipping it into a cold glass of milk. {Mouthwatering as I write this.}
