There’s something magical about a tray of homemade gingersnaps warming the whole house with cinnamon, ginger and holiday cheer. These cookies bake up with crackly tops, crisp edges and that nostalgic molasses depth that feels like December in every bite. Make them thin for extra snap or leave them a little thicker for a soft, cozy center—either way, they’re simple, festive and wonderfully giftable. Incorporate buckwheat flour for an easy gluten-free option, and everyone gets to join in the joy.
