Ginger Snaps II

"I made two kinds of ginger snaps - both from this site. The first were "mom's ginger snaps" and the second recipe was this one. Hands down, this one is the better of the two. The only thing I will ..." See moredo next time is add about 1/4 tsp salt instead of 1/2 like it calls for. That's just a personal preference, though. I also added about 1/4 tsp of cloves for added kick. All-in-all, this is a very good recipe!!!!"

"Today will be my 6th time making these. They are wonderful!! Men especially seem to like them. When they are in the house, my husband can't keep his hand out of the container. DELICIOUS!

I used my 1/2 Tablespoon measureing spoon to make them round. I dipped the measurer in flour before scooping up the dough. Tapping them out on the side of the mixing bowl made them easy to remove.

These are soft and chewy and wonderfully spicy. I think you'll not be disappointed should you try these!"

"Excellent gingersnaps! These have a great flavor and are addictive. What's more, they are stunning little cookies appearance-wise -- perfectly round, perfectly crackled, very professional looking. The..." See morey are definitely going in my Christmas cookie assortment. Only one caveat: nine minutes was not long enough in my oven. I had to bake for 12-14 minutes to ensure that they were cooked all the way through. Otherwise, perfect!"
