How can you make a gingersnap snap not the cooks but the flavor.

You could always try adding more fresh ginger, but if you love the kick of ginger then my suggestion would be to get some ginger essence from Mandy Aftel. It's fantastic stuff -- one or two drops will be enough to punch up an entire recipe. I'd try incorporating it into the wet ingredients before you add the flour. I've had other ginger essential oils, but they're flat and one dimensional by comparison. This stuff tastes so fresh and bright and has a good amount of heat to it. She also sells the oil diluted into alcohol in a spray format so you can spritz in ginger flavor as you like. It's also very powerful, but arguably easier to dose out. I use the spray for cocktails and flavored sodas. Great stuff. I have a lot of Mandy's products, but the ginger might be my favorite.
