Homemade Gingersnap Cookies

Also known around the world as Ginger Nuts, or Ginger Biscuits, Gingersnaps are indeed classic.  Whether you prefer the crunchier variety that is excellent for dunking, or the softer version, like this one below – the combination of ginger and molasses, and let us not forget cinnamon,  is ideal for autumn and the cooler temperatures. However, Gingersnap Cookies are completely acceptable as a dessert from basically August to June.  Just sayin’
