According to some written records, gingersnap was first invented by German monks around 1296, using the word ‘snappen’ as the description of the delicious treat. However, the exact origins of National Gingersnap Day were unclear until the early 1800s, when records indicate Dutch colonists were making them regularly.
Today, globally, gingersnaps come in various sizes and shapes. In Scandinavia, gingersnaps are often thin and crispy like a wafer, whereas in America, they are typically thicker and resemble a traditional cookie. Even though gingersnaps may look different depending on where they are made, the key ingredients remain consistent across recipes, including cinnamon, molasses, and clove.
