See I was going to save these for next week, but then I brought the leftovers to a couple of friends and my container of eight was empty almost instantly and that was my sign. I know, I know – two nut/seed butter recipes in a row. You can’t not want at least a nibble, right? A cookie so rich even I approved of dunking them in milk. Mini chocolate chips invading every bite, their melty allure making it impossible to wait for the cookies to cool.

Deep caramelized flavor with plenty of salt to offset the sweet. If you are usually a chewy-only cookie person, let your imagination feast on this for a sec…Ī crackly ring of thin, crispy cookie edges surrounding a just-soft, buttery center. That time is now, and these are the cookies. There is a time and place for chewy cookies.Īnd then there is a time for CRISPY cookies. Cookies will keep, stored at room temperature in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks.Thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies made with almond butter, coconut sugar, chocolate chips and sea salt. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate baking sheets (top to bottom and front to bake) and bake for an additional 9 to 12 minutes, or until cookies on lower tray just begin to darken around edges.

Arrange balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 to 2 inches of space between them. Spoon dough by heaping teasponfuls shape into 1-inch balls, then roll in sugar to coat. Place granulated sugar in shallow dish or bowl. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or use silicone baking mats).

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F position oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 to 2 hours. Add flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Let cool for about 2 minutes, then whisk in brown sugar, molasses, and fresh ginger. Transfer melted butter to large bowl and whisk in ground ginger and cinnamon.

You know what that means? Ship these all the way to Timbuktu (or, you know, California) and they’ll very likely survive the journey, not only in one piece but just as crispy and spicy as when you first took them out of the oven. Well, maybe not forever, but at least a solid two weeks. The best part of these cookies is that they last forever.

You will need to chop up the larger pieces (obviously), and toss the sticky chunks with a bit of granulated sugar to keep them from sticking into one huge mass, then fold them into your cookie dough. It’s soft and chewy, not hard and dry like the stuff that comes in spice jars. I also have to say that I LOVE Trader Joe’s crystallized ginger. You’ll find it’s much less tedious than trying to grate it fresh. Peel first, then freeze the whole ginger root for a few hours, then grate it with a microplane.

I’m dead serious in saying this recipe calls for 2 tablespoons each of ground AND fresh ginger, and a full 1/3 cup of crystallized ginger. There’s no mistaking these for an everyday spice cookie they are ginger, through and through. That’s why these gingersnaps (inspired by Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Cookies) satisfy all my desires: light and crispy, with three spicy kinds of ginger: fresh, ground, and chunks of crystallized ginger speckled throughout. Much like my ginger beer obsession, if I can’t taste the ginger, they’re not even worth eating. The other thing about gingersnaps is they must taste like ginger the more the better. If you want soft, why not try these soft Molasses Snickerdoodles instead? They are called gingerSNAPS, not gingerCHEWS, and it follows that they should be snappy.

Soft gingersnaps? That’s just an oxymoron. Normally I am wholeheartedly against crispy cookies.
