About the Holiday

National Gingersnap Day pays tribute to the highly addictive sugary ginger cookie. Usually made from brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, these cookies are a common treat in the US and many other countries. As far as deserts go, the Gingersnap is on the healthier side as it typically has less calories than most cookies and ginger is thought to help prevent colon cancer, treat ovarian cancer, provide migraine and heartburn relief and to help certain types of nausea.
