A ginger cookies, ginger biscuit or ginger snap is a globally popular biscuit based snack food, flavored with ginger. Traditionally ginger snaps are flavored with powdered ginger and a variety of other spices, like cinnamon, molasses and nutmeg. But I used fresh ginger to get pure ginger flavor without other spices. (You can add 1 to 2 tsp of spices, if you want to try the other flavors). Still this cookie turned out crispy outside, chewy in the middle, balance very well with sweet and ginger spice. I usually go with egg less version, considering the allergies among with our school and friends kids! You can create egg version by adding 1 egg and cut the ginger juice down. If you feel your dough is little watery or little crumbly, add extra flour or sprinkle water(ginger juice) accordingly. Sending this cookies to Blogging Marathon as well to Bake-a-thon events. If you are looking for simple and easy ginger cookies, then you can bookmark this recipe and will become your favorite recipe ever!
