Brits Discover Ginger Snap Cookies for the first time!

BRITS DISCOVER GINGER SNAP COOKIES FOR THE FIRST TIME! 🇬🇧🍪🇺🇸
(Homemade America’s Test Kitchen Ginger Snaps from our UK kitchen!)

This little British family has never tried Ginger Snap Cookies before — not once! Back home in the UK, we only really have Ginger Nut Biscuits, which are much harder and crunchier. But you’ve been telling us over and over that we must try real American-style Ginger Snap Cookies… so today, we finally did it!

Made fresh in our UK kitchen using the America’s Test Kitchen “Perfect Cookie” Cookbook, these homemade gingersnaps were a complete surprise — soft, chewy, warm, spiced, slightly crackly on top, and full of molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and brown sugar. A totally different experience from the ginger nut biscuits we grew up with!

In this video we follow the full ATK recipe step-by-step, creaming butter and sugar in the KitchenAid, adding molasses, mixing in the flour and spices, rolling into sugar, and baking until golden and crinkly. And then comes the fun part — the taste test and our first ever real reaction to American ginger snap cookies!

We talk about:
• Ginger Snap Cookies vs British Ginger Nut Biscuits
• Why Americans use molasses and what it does to the texture
• Classic ATK baking techniques for perfect cookies
• How chewy vs crunchy ginger cookies change the flavour
• Why ginger snaps are so popular in American fall baking
• What they taste like to British first-timers
• Whether our daughter Alena prefers them dipped in milk (spoiler: yes!)
• The difference between UK biscuit culture and US cookie culture
• Whether YOU think Ginger Snaps should “snap” or stay soft

This recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen, one of the most trusted baking and cooking sources in the USA — and now one of our favourites too. Every ATK recipe we’ve made has been a home run!

If you’re new here: we’re a British family learning American cooking from scratch, discovering your classics, your culture, and your comfort foods right from our UK kitchen. Your comments and suggestions guide every episode, so tell us what we should bake next!
