This is also why I reserved 1 cup of the cooking liquid so I could adjust the flavor and thickness as needed This will depend on your personal taste of how sweet and spicy you want the gravy This gravy is a work in progress, meaning I started with 12 cookies but I ended up adding in around 6 more Next we will need 12 gingersnap cookies and 1 tablespoon of sugar I’m placing 2 cups back into the pot and reserving 1 cup in case I have to loosen the gravy
