GINGERSNAP COOKIES & PUMPKIN DIP

Dec 05

All the flavors of fall in these melt-in-your-mouth gingersnaps with pumpkin dip. You’ll want to make these for dessert tonight!Mr. Maven and I were newlyweds when I made this recipe for the first time. Our Bishop’s wife (like a pastor or priest, but unpaid) gave all of us newbie’s a little recipe book of her family’s favorites. When I served these cookies and dip after a dinner party one night, I received rave reviews. Our guests couldn’t stop eating them!  Right then and there I decided these gingersnaps with pumpkin dip had to be a fall tradition. They’re magical!

Perfect Fall Cookie! These gingersnaps always get oohs and ahhs. Come over to the blog for the recipe.Now, these cookies do take a little time to make because you have to refrigerate the dough for an hour before rolling it into balls. So, plan ahead. They’re so worth it!

Also of note, this recipe makes a lot of cookies (it helps save counter space if you have stacking cooling racks like I do). Make some now and freeze some baked ones for a later date. They freeze nicely and should last 2-3 months in a freezer bag. You can also freeze some of the rolled dough so you can have freshly baked cookies when a last minute event comes up (like parent/teacher conferences, your Aunt Martha shows up on your doorstep, a pity party, whatever). Or… when you want your house to smell A-MAZING!

The perfect fall gingersnap. Guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Come on over and get the recipe!Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, molasses & pumpkin.  All the incredible cozy, warm, sweet flavors of fall.

Perfect Fall Gingersnaps. Melt in your mouth, these cookies will be your most requested recipe! Come on over and get the recipe.These cookies are not thick, which sometimes can be a deal-breaker for me. Not so with these babies. Lightly rolling them in sugar gives them that crisp, crunchy edge and they’re perfectly chewy in the middle. If you like them crispy all the way through, try baking them 2 minutes longer.

Perfect Fall Gingersnaps. Guaranteed to be a hit! Come on over to check it out.I tried not eating any because I felt like I was coming down with something and sugar isn’t so great for you on the best of days. Sigh…I didn’t win the battle and I had one.

Perfect Fall Gingersnaps with heavenly pumpkin dip. Come on over and get the recipe!I had to eat the ones that were in the pumpkin dip because they would go soggy. Oh, and the one I took the bite out of for the photo. Oops!

The dip isn’t absolutely necessary, but it does add a little something special and kinda different. So, you’re gonna wanna make it. Just sayin’.
