gingersnap cookies

A simple cheesecake recipe that requires no water bath or springform pan and tastes like a creamy pumpkin pie. Baked in a 9-by-13-inch pan, these are sliced into bars that are easy to serve and eat. If you want to make them a bit fancier, you can reserve some of the plain cheesecake batter to swirl into the pumpkin batter just before baking.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

gingersnap cookies (preferably the thin Swedish variety)

sugar

salt

unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

cream cheese,

granulated sugar

110 grams light brown sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

pumpkin pie spice

(15-ounce 425-gram) can pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.

Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they form fine crumbs (you will have about 2 1/2 cups of crumbs). Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl, and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until evenly incorporated. Press the crust into an even layer in the base of the prepared pan.

Bake until the crust has browned slightly and appears set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

Make the filling: Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, and place the cream cheese, sugar and brown sugar inside. Pulse until the mixture is fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time and pulse until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl as needed.

Add the vanilla and pumpkin pie spice, and pulse until combined. If desired, reserve 1 cup of the cheesecake batter in a small bowl to make a swirl effect later.

Add the pumpkin to the remaining cheesecake batter, and pulse until fully incorporated. Pour the pumpkin cheesecake into the cooled crust. If using, slowly pour the reserved white cheesecake batter over the pumpkin cheesecake batter in a slow, thin stream, and use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the two batters together. (If you pour too quickly, the white batter will sink inside the pumpkin.)

Bake the cheesecake until the edges appear set and the center still appears slightly jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 45 minutes, then refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours, up to overnight). Use a sharp knife to release the edges and use the parchment paper to carefully lift the cheesecake from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice into 15 even pieces, wiping the knife between cuts for the cleanest edges.

Homemade Gingersnap cookies are so much tastier than store-bought cookies. 

Homemade Ginger Snaps

butter

eggs, beaten

molasses

vinegar

all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with non-stick baking mats.

Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.

Stir in the eggs, molasses, and vinegar.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until blended.

Form the dough into ¾-inch balls.

Place the dough balls on a greased cookie sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.

Bake at 350°F for about 12 minutes. Some ovens will vary so adjust time accordingly.

These gingersnap cookies are always a favorite. The spices definitely makes these cookies! Super easy to make and great for any gathering.

Gingersnap Cookies

shortening (I use Crisco)

Mix first four ingredients well, then add remaining ingredients. Dough will be crumbly.

Shape into balls the size of walnuts and dip one side in sugar. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet sugar side up. Bake 10 to 15 minutes in 350 degree oven. Makes approximately 2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies.

Thin crispy gingersnaps are a classic holiday cookie loaded with festive spices and molasses flavor. It's a no chill recipe that is quick and easy to make.

Gingersnaps

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup molasses, unsulfured

all-purpose flour (250 grams)

teaspoon ground nutmeg

teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two large half sheet baking pans with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and molasses beat until incorporated.

Add in the dry ingredients and beat until just combined, and a firm dough is formed.

Transfer the remaining sugar into a small bowl. Then, use a cookie scoop to scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of cookie dough at a time, and roll into 1-inch ball. Roll the cookie ball into the bowl of sugar to fully coat it. Place on the lined baking trays, spaced 2-3 inches apart. You will have to bake in multiple batches, or freeze some uncoated cookie balls to bake later.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set and the tops are cracked and crinkled. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then, transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool down completely.

These sweet and piquant gingersnap cookies are sliced ultra-thin for a crispy and easy bite that practically melts in your mouth.

Gingersnap Cookies Recipe

unsalted butter

all purpose flour

2½ tsp Baking Soda

Cinnamon

2½ tsp ground ginger

⅛ tsp ground black pepper

Step 1.1

Beat butter, add sugar, add vanilla, eggs, add molasses: Beat the butter until soft; add sugar, and beat until light and fluffy.  Add vanilla and eggs, and beat until fluffy.  Add molasses and beat until well-mixed.

Step 1.2

Whisk together dry ingredients: Vigorously whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, finely ground black pepper) in a bowl.

Step 1.3

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Add flour mixture to the butter/sugar/egg mixture, 1/3 at a time.  Mix only until the dry ingredients become incorporated.

Step 1.4

Press into lined loaf pan, freeze: Line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with plastic wrap, so that some hangs over the outsides.  Press the dough into the bottom of the pan.  Pack it tightly, and try to make the top as level as possible.  Cover the dough with the plastic overhangs.  Freeze until very firm, preferably overnight.

Step 1.5

Thinly slice from frozen dough: Unwrap and remove dough from the pan.  Slice brick into thin slices, no more than 1/8".

Step 1.6

Bake: Working in batches, place thin slices on a parchment or a Silpat-lined sheet pan (space at least an inch apart) and bake at 350°F until the edges turn dark brown, 7-12 minutes, depending on how thinly you have sliced the dough. Check the oven for doneness at 7 minutes.

Crunchy and good. I have the same vintage recipe booklet. I used 1/2 c butter and 1/4 c shortening and upped the ginger a bit.

I made those tonight - they are delicious.  I was a bit worried b/c they have no baking powder or baking soda but no problem.  My cookie press makes smaller ones than yours, but I certainly got a lit of cookies!

Wishing cookies are a ginger-spiced Swedish Christmas cookie. Make a wish then place a cookie in your palm and press on the center to break it. If it breaks into 3 pieces eat it without speaking and then your wish is said to come true!

Bake the cookies at 375 ºF for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just a shade darker but not browned. Let them cool on the baking trays for 3-5 minutes then transfer to a cookie sheet to cool completely.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and plant milk with a fork or small whisk. The icing should be stiff enough that when you run a spoon through it, it separates and takes a moment before it runs to fill in the line. And, it should be thin enough that it will run easily off a fork or a spoon, but not immediately lose its shape and settling back into the rest of the icing. If needed, add a little more powdered sugar or milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Decorate the cookies with a piping bag and a tip with a very small hole, or just spread some on each cookie with a knife.

These gingersnap cookies taste like Christmas! They're slightly chewy, a little crisp, and perfect for your next holiday party or cookie exchange.

unsalted butter, softened

granulated sugar, divided

light brown sugar, packed

unsulphured molasses

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves, and nutmeg until combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Turn the mixer to low and beat in the molasses. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, then beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix gently by hand until just combined. Cover and chill the dough for 30-60 minutes (until firm).

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Portion the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining granulated sugar until evenly coated. Arrange the cookie dough balls onto the baking sheets with 2 inches between each.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and the edges are slightly firm but the centers are still soft. For extra crispy cookies, bake for 12-14 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

I&#039;m convinced these Gingersnap Cookies are the BEST ones out there with their perfect crispy on the outside and chewy in the center texture.  

butter (, room temperature)

Pumpkin Dip (, optional, for dipping)

Add butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until well creamed together. Add egg and molasses and mix well to combine.

Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate dough for 15-20 minutes. (This is a good time to make pumpkin dip!)

Scoop into balls and place on an un-greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes (or slightly longer if you like them more crispy).

We love to serve gingersnaps with this pumpkin dip.

These are good, wish they were a little thicker. Next time I will try using 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp baking powder.  I will also cut back on the ground ginger.  I made these with 1:1 gf flour.

The cookies came out soo good.. BUT mine got super dark? Like their edges browned at around 5 minutes and at 10 minutes they were flat, and darker brown the taste was perfect and was chewy and crispy but Yours look much lighter than mine, any idea why?

These are SO delicious!! They're perfectly balanced between chewy and crisp. I threw in a candied ginger for fun, but they DON'T need it!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is the best gingersnap cookie I have ever made.  I was looking for a crisp and chewy recipe and this checked the boxes.  My son and daughter said it was the best gingersnap they had ever tasted.  This recipe is a keeper and I will be adding it to the annual Christmas baking.  Thank you for sharing this recipe!

My first time making these cookies but it will definitely not be my last. These are the best cookies ever!!! I followed the recipe exactly as it is. 
My family &amp; I are in love with them! Such incredible flavor &amp; perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Perfection!!!

Thank you for sharing this recipe, I made them and they turned out amazing

Excellent recipe, I made them yesterday and they are almost finished!  I WILL make them again, and I'm going to add bits of caramelized ginger.  Fantastic.  My dough made 33 cookies, so mine must have been a bit smaller, but they were perfect.  

The only thing I would say is: in the timings box the recipe states there will be a 15 min refrigeration step, but the instructions don't actually include any refrigeration step.

Thanks!!

I have never made ginger snaps before. These were delicious and came out that perfect crispy outside and soft inside.  I will be making these often!!

I think I found my forever gingersnap cookie. Only change I made to the recipe was using apple molasses (also known as applestroop in the Netherlands, which can be made by reducing apple cider) and adding in some cloves as well. I like this recipe because it calls for more molasses compared to other recipes which allowed me to use more of the apple molasses and that flavor shows up in the cookie better.

The cookies were Fantastic, but because of dietary restrictions and to make them diabetic friendly, I had to make some substitutions.    They still came out great and the right texture.

My changed recipe:

¾ cup butter , room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar (changed to 1 Cup Monk Fruit with Erythritol)
1 egg
¼ cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour (changed to 2 cups King Arthur Gluten Free Flour)
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon ground ginger (changed to 3 Tbsp frozen ground ginger)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (used Vietnamese Cinnamon)

These are the most beautiful and delicious cookies I've ever made they turned out so perfectly and usually I'm not a very good baker. Thank you!

I absolutely loved the cookies!!!
My only problem was that my cookies didnt get flat in the oven, they stayed almost round. Any Tips so i could possibly avoid that?
But otherwise, fantastic!!!🤩

My husband informed me many years ago that his favorite cookie is a molasses cookie. I have since learned that some call them gingersnap, some molasses, some ginger molasses... but often very similar. He likes a crunchy cookie but I like soft and chewy. I had yet to find a recipe that I was motivated to make. But then I fell victim to Crumbl cookies. He dislikes them as they are so huge and usually softer not crunchy. My favorite so far was a ginger molasses that had cream cheese frosting. (oh my it was rich). They did the same cooking this week with sugar coating no frosting. Same base! I was MOTIVATED!  I looked at a lot of recipes but settled on this. My first ever (after years of consideration) ginger cookie with molasses. It has not disappointed!  My husband was even swooning over the cookie dough. He said they are PERFECT. I agree and will no longer feel anxious that I better go get me a Crumbl ginger cookie when they are available because when I'm READY and want one I will just make my own! 5 Stars from this family!

These were sooo good! Crispy on the inside but chewy on the inside! We loved them!!

So easy and so delicious. A crowd pleaser every time.
