Description
They were animal shaped gingery-flavored cookies. They were the perfect ginger snap because they weren't too spicy and just sweet enough. I remember them being in a bag with a logo of a Swedish woman holding a flower or a basket. So many of my friends remember them too.

Pogen's ginger snap cookies were the best ever and I would love to know where to get them a again. The legend was that if you laid a pogen's in the palm of your hand, poked it h hard with your finger and the cookie broke into three pieces, you would get your wish. Now I wish I could have the cookies.

I ditto Ann exactly:First and last sentence. I have had the exact same two comments or years....why did the Pogen's company/baery leave us dry? Where is the recipe for this perfectly spicy and crisp treat. I used to buy at Freont Market, Alhambra or Hughe's Market in Monterey Park.

Pogen Ginger Snap Cookies were just the best! I first started eating them in the early 70's. I was introduced to their unique flavor and goodness by my girlfriend back then. She is my wife now,and we both miss them immensley. They always bring a smile to our face when we think of those days, and leave us wanting for that wonderful taste again!

I think I found the perfect clone recipe! Todd Wilbur was a genius when he cloned this recipe - you can find it in his book "Top Secret Recipes", and possibly in the recipe archives on his website topsecretrecipes.com, either for free or 79 cents. My daughters and my mother are waiting for me to make a double batch at this moment....

You can get a really good ginger snap cookie at Christmas at the Cost Plus Stores. It is about $9.95 per big red tin and they last for a year no problem. They are every bit as good as Pogens I think.

I remember eating Pogen Ginger Snap Cookies while visiting my sister in San Diego. She had twins and I would go help her with them. During the mid-night feedings we would sit in the dark in the familyroom, feed the infants, and eat a few Pogen Ginger Snaps.

THOSE WERE THE BEST TASTING COOKIES I EVER TASTED THEY HAD JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GINGER IN THEM AND THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SWEETNESS, I LOVED THE LIGHT CRISPINESS OF THE COOKIE AND HOW IT MELTED IN YOUR MOUTH. I USE TO PURCHASE THEM AT STATER BROS MARKET IN SANT ANA CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVE NOT SOLD THEM IN YEARS. I WENT LOOKING FOR THEM AND THEY WERE NO LONGER ON THE SHELF. I WAS SO UPSET. I WOULD USUALLY BUY TWO BAGS AT A TIME. DOES ANY ONE OUT THERE KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE THEM ON A MARKET OR A WEBSITE ONLINE. I WOULD ENJOY EATTING THEM AGAIN. WHAT A TREAT. GREAT WITH MILK ALSO. MY EMAIL IS KIMBLETUSTIN@SBCGLOBAL.NET. THANKS AGAIN.

Boy what I'd give to bite into a Pogen's Ginger Snap Cookie today??? My testimony to the Pogen's Company. Back in 1986 I tasted my first Pogen's Ginger Snap and was hooked forever...I give Pogen's credit for helping quit smoking. I would empty the Pogen's slot in the vending machine at my job. I would eat at least 2-3 bags of those wonderful tasting cookies everyday. The Co-op Store sold I believe one pound bags of Pogen's Gingersnaps and I would buy 2-3 bags. I wish I could find a recipe or contact the previous owners othe the company and ask for the recipe. They could make a lot of money on that recipe because thousands of people could quit smoking just by eating a bag or two of gingersnaps everyday.

Yes, Pogen's were the best! My Husband's Portugese Granma Rose was diabetic and if I dropped by with my toddlers, she would make tea and we would have Pogen Animal Cookies and tea. That was in 1978 to 1983. She passed away in 1984. We need these wonderfully flavorful cookies back in our lives!
