Call them Cookies, or biscuits or Ginger nuts - Gingersnaps are as delicious from one version to another. No wonder they are considered one of American favorite snacks. Although made all year round, gingersnaps hold a special place during the Thanksgiving season. I especially love them with Milk! The variations that I have come across for these Ginger cookies are mind boggling. Since I make them so very often, I wanted to go for a healthier version which will not make me guilty about gorging them down ( Now you are smiling! But believe me once you take that first bite, I am sure you will indulge in gluttony too! I will be the one to laugh when that happens!) hence I combined few basic gingersnap recipes and modified a wee bit more to incorporate healthy ingredients.

I will call this picture "Crunch with every Bite" and Yes! I have reasons for calling them so. I really understood the meaning of the proverb "When the cat is away, the mice will play" recently. How? Well here's the story. I had very charming and little guests coming over to my place and so I thought I will make these cookies for them. While their mother had to pop out for something urgent, I made the two little ones sit in the drawing room to watch cartoons while I busied myself baking the goodies. When it was almost done, I took them out to cool and told them not to touch them yet till I take photos. I arranged the cookies likewise and last minute remembered that my tripod was in the Garage and asked them to sit tight while I go down and bring it up. 5 min later, I came and saw everything looking supposedly fine although my cookies looked little out of place. Upon notice, I checked v v small bites in the end of each cookie! Then the story comes out that, the two little geniuses had bitten a little bit of every cookie so that I don't notice anything missing! hahaha! I laughed like never before. You should have seen their faces! Children! How much more can we learn from them?
