Hi, Cindy. We're happy to help! Your gingersnaps could have needed just a tad longer in the oven to yield a truly crisp cookie. Also, did you use butter or shortening in your dough? Butter will make the cookies softer rather than crip in texture. As for the lack of spread we recommend letting the oven preheat for at least half an hour to ensure it up to the right temperature, which will help encourage the cookies to spread more. Also, if the baking sheet you used was darker this could have caused the bottom of the cookies to set before they had the chance to spread so for that, we suggest doubling up on the pans to help insulate the cookies. Happy baking! Kindly, Morgan@KAF
