This is a spicy-a-gingersnap! :) The flavor of the molasses really shines through, and I thought it would, so I guess I put the spices in there to reflect that. LOL This is tasty, and does taste like a huge gingersnap cookie. Beware of making too-strong spices though. I also might put less molasses in (like maybe only 2 tsp.) if I make it again. Thanks for sharing this!

This was very good, My only suggestion is that I wish that there was a measurement for the ground ginger as I'm not familiar with using it and maybe the final product was a little too strong.
