Camille,
ReplyDeleteThese look divine! And your photos are gorgeous!!! So pleasant to look at. Very well done my friend! Hooray for you!
These look so good. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCamille~
ReplyDeleteThese sound very similar to my Grandmother's recipe for Sugar and Spice cookies. My daughters called them "Man Catchers"! They worked!
;~}
Dear J ~ I do hope you try them out...they are so easy to do and yummy! A big hit wherever they go! :) And thanks for your sweet encouraging words...it is fun to experiment with the camera!
ReplyDeleteDear Patty ~ So easy and so good...how can you go wrong? I hope you like them! :)
Dear Raeann ~ Too funny! I would imagine that they would work for that too, although I never thought of it!! I was already married by the time I got my hands on the recipe ~ Lesley is my sister in law! ;-)
Blessings,
Camille
I need big batch recipes for my family these days. Would make them today but don't have molasses in the pantry - can you substitute anything else or leave them out?
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful!
Yummmmy! When can I come over for tea and cookies? :0)
ReplyDeleteThese look so delicious. I can't wait to try them.
Hope you're having a wonderful Spring day my friend. BTW, how is the weather up there by you?
Christa
Dear Ann ~ I haven't ever tried subbing anything for the molasses...maybe some sort of syrup? I think molasses would be your best bet for the flavour though. Hope you like them! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Christa ~ I would love it if you would visit me...anytime! The weather has been quite nice but a little on the chilly side lately. We must be patient...it's still early on! :) How about you??
Blessings,
Camille
Oh, Camille!
ReplyDeleteYou always have great recipes on your blog!
These look DELISHIOUS!!
Love,
Meghan
Dear Meghan ~ Are you going to make them?? They would be fun to do with your sisters...let me know what you think of them if you do try! :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Camille
Oh Camille! I love Gingersnaps! Thank you for sharing and for the wonderful photos, I felt like I was in your kitchen helping :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Sharon
Dear Sharon ~ Oh I would have enjoyed baking with you in my kitchen...how fun that would be! :) I hope you do try them...maybe at a church lunch? Church is where this batch went and they didn't last long.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening!
Love,
Camille
Christa,
ReplyDeleteThese look so sumptuous, even though I'm not a big fan of gingersnaps! Maybe we'll have to try this recipe instead. Just might change my preferences!
Today I had a longing to make the oatmeal pancakes again. Isn't that funny? I was just thinking about supper, and the memory of how they tasted popped into my mind. I have to buy some more yogurt or buttermilk, but I definitely will be having them soon.
Hope you get the warm weather soon:)
Dear Teresa ~ These are not too crisp and are yummy...even if you are not a "gingersnap" person! I do hope you like them...we sure do! We have had those pancakes a few times...I am so glad to have found the recipe! I'm glad you enjoyed them too! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening!
Blessings,
Camille
