Ginger Bran Snaps: Gingersnaps from the 1961 ABC of Cookies.; sixties; 1960s; cookies; recipe; ginger; cinnamon; bran

These light cookies are good for you. They have bran in them!

Well, perhaps not. But they are good. They need to chill for such a long time because they’re very delicate, and if you want them in rounds you need to really let them firm up. Once baked, they’re light and crunchy. They’re very good for dipping in milk and in tea, and they’re perfect if you need graham-cracker-style crumbs for a crumb crust.

Drop in again soon for another vintage recipe! I’ll have a different recipe every Sunday afternoon throughout the year. Keep an eye on this page or subscribe to the RSS feed for further details. You can also browse past featured Club recipes as well as some of the vintage promotional cookbooks I’ve used as sources.
