Several of my Twitter pals were baking together from The Modern Baker this past weekend. I really wanted to join in and make the three-way gingersnaps, but a debate tournament and a family trip to the science museum ate up my weekend and left me with no time for baking.
But those gingersnaps were calling my name, so last night, I quickly whipped up a half-batch. These are called three-way gingersnaps because they're made with three different forms of ginger: ground ginger, fresh ginger root, and chopped crystallized ginger. (I didn't find fresh ginger root when we were grocery shopping this weekend, so I used bottled minced ginger from the fridge.)
The gingersnaps also have honey instead of the traditional molasses, so they were a little lighter in color.
These were absolutely delicious. In fact, the half-batch (about 3 1/2 trays of cookies) is just about gone. My dad, who loves gingersnaps, said they may have been the best he's ever eaten. I am positive we'll be making these again...maybe even within the week! :)
Must. Have. More.
ReplyDeleteThese WERE so good! I made a half batch and then had to turn around the same day and make another whole batch as all the ballgame watchers here LOVED them. It's probably why IU won against Kentucky...all the fans here cheering and eating those cookies! We missed you baking with us but happy you had the chance to bake them later. How much do we love Nick?
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Looking forward to these!!
