Gingersnaps Without Molasses

I really really wanted gingersnaps on Tuesday night but we had no molasses and I was not about to go buy any that late at night.  And it has been pretty cold + snowy that I saw no point in getting the kids bundled up and going to buy any.

So online I went and I searched and searched for a molasses free gingersnap recipe and finally I found one this morning.   So while Poppy was napping, Finley and I decided to make them.

The dough was delicious to eat while I rolled them into balls and Finley rolled them in sugar.  As they cooked, the main floor smelled so yummy - just like Christmas!  However, they were gross.  The recipe said they tasted better then those with molasses - but they were WRONG!!

Finley enjoyed them but there isn't a sweet treat that she doesn't like.

So basically Greg was right - you do need molasses for gingersnaps and I definitely need Lindsey's recipe for gingersnaps because hers are mouthwatering.......

Needless to say, molasses are on the grocery list.....lesson learned....
