IN MY OLD DAYS IN FT. COLLINS, COLO. YOU COULD BUY A SACK FULL OF GINGER SNAP COOKIES FOR A NICKLE. WHY WERE THEY SO CHEAP. THE HOME BAKERY THERE MADE JUST SO MANY COOKIES EVERY DAY AND TOOK ALL OF THE LEFT OVER DOUGH AND MIXED IT TOGETHER AND ADDED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GINGER TO IT. HE SOLD THE COOKIES BY THE BARREL TO GROCERY STORES. THE STORES PROMOTED THEM. WHEN EVER WE COULD GET A NICKLE WE WOULD GO TO THE STORE AND LOAD UP A SACK OF GINGER SNAP COOKIES.

Chica, sorry, I can’t recall the brand of flour, but last I checked, they were out of stock. They have it at Healthy Options sometimes, but pricey. Oh, and yes, I bought it in the Metro grocery at Market!Market!

Hi Marketman, where in Market Market did you find the unbleached flour? I went to the supermarket there today and could not find any. It could be that they didn’t have stocks. If that’s the case, would you happen to remember who the importer was? Or at least the brand? :)

Marketman, Philippines says:

marie, I did get the unbleached flour at Healthy Options but I have also purchased it for less at Metro Market!Market!. The last time I shopped at Metro, they were out of stock. Crystallized ginger I make my own. But the piece in the photo up top is something I brought back from a trip to Vietnam at the start of the yearâ€¦

If given a choice I’d grab the gingersnaps than choco chip cookies. Oh anne thanks for the info on where to get the Fibisco GIngersnaps, been looking for it for ages. Will be dropping by Landmark just to buy it.

Fibisco aside, is there anywhere else in Manila that one can get scrumptious ginger snaps?

I love gingersnaps! There is a local company (FiBisco?) that makes them but I rarely see it in the groceries. Of course, I hoard it when I get to see them.

Hi Marketman, where do you buy your unbleached white flour and crystallized ginger? Healthy Options?

I’m currently on the hunt for unbleached white flour that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (as what Healthy Options charges). Thanks!

Your cookies look beautiful, MM. Nabisco gingersnaps were one of my comfort foods during homesick days in a UP dorm…
