I do have several recipes using Ginger Snap cookies, but since I was out of them, I decided to try Vanilla Wafers in my Baked Beans and see how they would turn out. They turned out thick rich and hearty, and were very tasty. I thought to myself not bad for a substitute ingredient. The Vanilla Wafers thickens the sauce & adds an extra hint of sweetness. We loved them with the extra bits of added cooked, cut up crumbled bacon & smoke flavor from the Liquid smoke. This was quick simple & convenient, Not bad for a quick side dish. Try it you may like it too
