With the holidays around the corner, there has to be an ultimate cookie recipe perfect for the cookie plate right?
The Blogger C.L.U.E. Society is a group of amazingly talented bloggers and once a month, we hunt through their blogs, play with their recipes and find out as much as we can to make the ultimate recipe that fits our theme of the month. This month’s mission – peruse From Cupcakes to Caviar and find the perfect recipe that reminds me of something my grandmother would make. Janet, the recipe guru behind the blog, is an amazing cook and baker so when I was looking for recipes that would remind me of something my grandmom adored, I knew exactly which one was perfect to play with – her Ginger Snaps recipe.
Growing up I remember having the two dinner dilemma for the holiday. We’d go to my grandmom’s in the morning and that evening we’d head to my Bampa’s. One thing I always looked forward to was my grandmom’s homemade cookies that she kept in a tin on the back credenza by the window. Even now, thinking back to those times, I can remember seeing that tin beckoning, right next to her ever present pecan pie. So – while the adults would discuss all things politics, I’d be munching away on one of my grandmom’s delicious homemade cookies.
Janet’s recipe for Ginger Snaps brought me right back to those times. The warm holiday spices, the rich deep molasses and coated with a bit of sweet cinnamon sugar, these cookies were scrumptious. When you are making cookies for the holidays, why not give these Ginger Snaps a try. I promise these Ginger Snaps will be a holiday must for the cookie plate (or tin). And yes, I’ll be sending some of these delicious bites to my grandmom just in time for the holidays.
On to the recipe:
