Gooey Caramel-Topped Gingersnaps image

Making these cookies is therapeutic for me. I often watch a movie while I put them together. I take a lot of cookies to fundraisers, and these gingersnaps are quite popular. If you'd like, you can make variations by changing the cookie base or varying the nuts. -Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri
