Ginger Cookies Versus Gingersnaps Versus Gingerbread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

These ginger cookies are not to be confused with gingersnaps, which are thin brittle cookies sweetened with molasses and flavoured with ginger, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. While both are made from the same ingredients and have the same flavour profile, the texture is different: ginger cookies are thicker and softer than gingersnaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gingerbread cookies are also made from essentially the same ingredients. With gingerbread, recipes may include other warm spices in the dough, often heavy on cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. These are spices we associate with Christmas holidays as a rule. Gingerbread cookie dough can be rolled out and cut using cookie cutters to make festive gingerbread cutout cookies<\/a>, or shaped into a log for slice-and-bake gingerbread cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
