It has been so cold these past few days in the valley that all I wanna do is just lay in bed when the alarm goes off. I need to go shopping for some sweaters and winter coats; my clothes are made for temps in the 70’s not 40’s. I should be happy it’s not snowing but I have no clue what that’s like!
Since we are in the month of December, I thought I would have made a scrub with mint in it. I just have not been in the mood for mint at all. This year I have been in love with spices. Ginger and cinnamon have been in my top two.
Gingersnap cookie scrub reminds me of ginger snaps and the scent is amazing. I even wanted to bake some ginger snaps after using this scrub. Most of my scrubs I like to give away but I am going to hold on to this one because it smells too good to pass up.
Ginger Snap Cookie Scrub Recipe:
2 cups sugar
1.5 cups oil (I used olive)
1 tbsp. cinnamon
½ tbsp. ginger
¼ cup molasses
Recipe Directions: In a bowl add sugar and spices; mix until all the spices are mixed in with the sugar. Slowly add molasses and oil to the mixture. You want to mix until the mixture becomes thick; if you don’t like a thick mixture add more oil. Place in airtight container and give away as gifts or keep for yourself.
Hehe, it’s been really cold here too with some snow but fortunately it has melted away. Your scrubs sound like awesome gifts and I love how lovely this gingersnap scrub sounds 🙂
Kelly we need to bake some asap! 🙂
Oh girl, I can only imagine how amazing this scrub has to smell!
I wanted to eat it so bad 🙂
This makes me crave ginger snaps even though it’s not a recipe for those haha, it looks awesome though!
Thank you Lillian
I just wanted to know if you have to refrigerate this or not?

Thank you Willow 🙂
This is absolute genius. And will certainly be a birthday present for a friend this week – thanks!!
I hope she enjoys your gift 🙂
All I can say is wow and thank you for this recipe. I saw this the day before Xmas 2014 and was amazed that I had all the ingredients right there in the kitchen. I quickly made it and used it and gifted it all in the same hour! My daughter just came out of the shower to thank me for making and giving it to her! She loves how soft and smoothe her skin is and I agree. The yummy smell is great too! Thank you!
I made this & love how easy the recipe was! But…the mix sitting in a jar smells awful, just like molasses but then when I actually put a little on my hands and scrub it smells just like ginger snap cookies…anyone else experience this?!
