Ginger Snaps were something I always loved and have never found a recipe I truly wanted to make time and again.
UNTIL NOW!!
Woop woop! Now, there’s one crazy ingredient – Backstrap Molasses. I bought it a while ago and it’s been in the pantry and I didn’t use it much – but I experimented with this recipe and it added something perfect! You could try without – but my advice is to head to the supermarket and see if they have it – or try a health food shop. Trust me – you won’t regret having it on hand!
