July 1st, 2025 is National Gingersnap Day

These tasty cookies have a sweet but spicy flavor. They are made with molasses and have ground ginger as flavoring. There are many varieties of ginger snaps - from the American version (which is more of a spicy sugar cookie) to Scandinavian versions which are small, thin cookies.
Another unique thing about Gingersnaps is that they are probably the only cookie used in a gravy! That's right, ginger snaps are an ingredient in Sauerbraten, a German pot roast recipe.
