We found the magic ingredient that will take your gingersnaps to a new level - coconut oil. Not only does the coconut oil complement spices in these cookies, it is also a healthier oil.
Speaking of more nutritious alternatives, we also recommend the Heritage Whole Wheat Pastry Flour in this recipe. It is milled so fine most people won't be able to tell they are having a 100% whole wheat cookie! Any of our flours will work but the Heritage Whole Wheat Pastry Flour just does something extra wonderful here.
