Introducing! Grandma's Old-Fashioned Gingersnaps. Large Party Size.
Introducing the original gingersnaps from a simpler time.
When we were kids, mothers—mostly stay-at-home moms—would buy these big brown bags of gingersnaps for their families. We loved them. They were bright and gingery and snapped when you bit them. After you ate one, your mouth felt cool from the ginger.
We missed those cookies. We wanted those same old-fashioned gingersnaps from years ago when we rode Schwinn bikes down quiet country lanes with meadowlarks singing from the fence posts.
So we set off to make them!
We lost track of how many trials it took, but eventually, we designed those gingersnaps from our childhood.
We sell the mix today—right down to the big batch.
Expect to make about 40 gingersnaps from this mix. Don't worry; they store well and freeze well. You can even make dough balls, freeze them, and bake them, say ten at a time. Then, you can bake fresh gingersnaps any time you crave them.
These are the old-fashioned gingersnaps with the sweet snap that you or your parents loved as kids. They are just as lovable today.

"Just like Mom’s Gingersnaps!! "Easy, delicious cookie mix!! I am going to have to order more… they are gone in no time around here!!" --
Get to know your old-fashioned gingersnaps!
- Okay, are these cookies really that good? Yes! They aren't just five-star; they are an enthusiastic five-stars. The one four-star hasn't made them yet.
- Are they simple to make? Yes, just like snickerdoodles.
- How do they compare with snickerdoodles? If you like snickerdoodles, you'll love these. They're snickerdoodles with flavor . . . and with snap.
- What about the baking time? Oh, I wish all ovens baked the same! Mostly, you want soft, tender cookies. If you want these to have some snap, you'll need to bake them another minute or two. They're good either way.
- Is 40 cookies real? Oh yeah. One lady made 52.
- That many cookies, will they stay snappy? Humid climates are hard on snappy. Freeze the extras or at least store them in a container with a tight lid. Or freeze the dough.
- I've never frozen cookie dough before. Tell me about that. Make the dough balls and freeze them. It's a slick trick. You can bake a smaller batch every Sunday afternoon. Just get them out of the freezer, let them thaw, and bake them.
- Tell me how to freeze them. Make up all the dough balls and then divide them into equal groups, say 10 cookies for each batch. If you have the same number of cookies in each bag and the dough is thawed, each batch will bake the same.
- How long can I store the dough in the freezer? I don't know. I'm usually anxious for another batch of fresh cookies. I suppose a couple of months.

Gingersnaps just like Mom’s!!Easy to make, delicious gingerbread snaps/cookies. Reminded me of the cookies that I had at home during my childhood! If you bake them for the maximum recommended time- they are nice and “snappy” after cooling down ….. if you leave them in the oven for the minimal recommended time - they are a bit chewier. Either way, they are absolutely delicious!!! Can’t go wrong either way!! --
Both the kids and adults in your family will fall in love with these cookies. And they smell so good baking--with the aroma of warm spices drifting through your kitchen.
Don't miss the chance to make these cookies, just like those of yesteryear.
