The cookies come out of the oven very soft, but as they cool, they crisp up like a dream and snap when you break them in half. The texture and flavor of these ginger snaps is seriously good.

    Ok, I’m dying to try this recipe but am confused as to how to convert ounces to tablespoons or cups with the dry ingredients? Hope you can clarify and help.

    Reply

    • Hi Donna, it’s very difficult to convert weight to volume, such as ounces to tablespoons, because one tablespoon of one ingredient will weigh more or less than another ingredient. I hope that makes sense. Do you have scales? Also, the recipe card has a metric converter, if that helps.

    sorry I am a little late to the comment section but thoughts on adapting to an air fryer…the electricity crisis is real in the UK and if I could make these in the air fryer I’d be delighted

    • Hi Jennifer,

      I’m not too sure whether they will work in an air fryer. We just purchased one so we are getting the hang of it. Have you baked cookies in one before?

  6. I have been on Keto for about 3 years and I have made many keto cookies. This is the first crunchy one I have made. Oh how I have missed the crunch! They are delicious. Thank you!

  7. I’m trying to follow a low-carb diet but not exactly strict no carb, so I don’t have Sukrin Gold. Can I follow the recipe the same but with regular brown sugar, or will it affect the proportions/baking chemistry/etc.?

    Reply

    • Hi Avani,

      In all honesty, I could not tell you. I haven’t cooked with regular sugars for over 6 years, if you wanted to test it, please do, but I’m really not sure if the recipe will turn out or not.

      We follow low carb, but not keto. I substituted the serve with Molasses, and used white sugar to roll the cookie in. I also added 1/8 c of coconut flour to accommodate extra liquid from Molasses. They turned out perfectly!

      • Awesome, so glad the tweaks worked out for you, Tammy.
