Happy November!! I know I am a couple of days late, but the first 5 days flew by and here we are....
November is a very special month to me for many reasons, but most importantly, it is my birthday month! I truly do love November...Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I love the weather that comes with this time of year and I really really love all the food that November brings. Throughout the month I will be sharing with you my favorite flavors and what makes me happy this time of year!
Gingersnaps are one of my favorite fall/winter cookies, I love the texture, the spice and the smell of these yummy cookies. I know that you can buy them year round in the grocery stores, but I will not buy them or eat them until fall comes around and there is nothing better than a homemade gingersnap.
This special recipe is a Nanny Original and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and share it with your loved ones during the holiday! Happy November!
