Day 2: Alton Brown's Ginger Snaps Recipe
Best known for TV shows Good Eats and Iron Chef America, Alton Brown is also a master when it comes to his baking skills. Alton admits his cookies are totally addictive. He tells Food Network fans, “I don't know why I like them so much, but when I start eating them I tend to have a very, very hard time stopping.”
Alton Brown's Ginger Snaps are everything a Christmas cookie should be. When you look up "sugar and spice and everything nice" in the dictionary, it's got a picture of Alton Brown's Gingersnaps! Seriously though, these Food Network Christmas cookies don't get their flavor from ground spices (although they are in the ingredients list). Instead, they're made with fresh grated ginger and candied ginger to add as much zing as possible! You can find Alton Brown's Ginger Snaps Christmas Cookie recipe here at Food Network.
