Then, transfer them to an airtight container and store them at room temperature. (Storing them in the fridge will dry them out.)<\/p>\n<h3>Can I freeze gingersnap cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. You can opt to either freeze the cookies or the dough. If freezing the cookies, arrange them on a baking sheet, freeze for a few hours and transfer them to zip-loc baggies. You can then freeze them for up to one month. To freeze the dough, arrange it on a baking sheet, cover and freeze for a few hours. Then, transfer the dough to baggies and keep them in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n<h2>Gingersnap Cookie Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2066104 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gingersnap-Cookies_TOHD24_1022_Jena-Carlin_7_Social.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Gingersnap Cookies stacked on white plate on marble surface with milk in the background\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jena Carlin for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with gingersnap cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Gingersnap cookies are made for dunking.

Though the bake times listed in this recipe (12 to 15 minutes) are accurate, all ovens vary and the pan type makes a difference, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it possible to over-bake gingersnap cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, if you over-bake these cookies their texture won&#8217;t be soft and chewy.
