If you're looking for the perfect holiday cookie that strikes hits the mark between crunchy and gooey, look no further. My gingersnap recipe has become a beloved in my family—and even with extended family, who constantly beg me to bake a batch WHENEVER I am around. This cookie is a staple in our home, with its irresistible crisp outside and soft, warm center. Trust me, once you make them, they’ll be the first thing everyone asks for! I might be biased but i've never had a gingersnap this good. Enjoy!!
