Cookie Jar Gingersnaps
SUBMITTED BY:
Deb Handy
"'My grandma kept two cookie jars in her pantry. One of the jars, which I now have, always had these crisp and chewy gingersnaps in it,' recalls Deb Handy of Pomona, Kansas. 'They're still my favorite. My 11-year-old daughter, Becky, used this recipe for a 4-H fair and won a blue ribbon.'"

Marvelous! If you don't put them in full time they remain a bit soft, perfect really.

This is my mom's recipe! But I add more spices like nutmeg and allspice. Just made some to give away as gifts for Christmas!

Wonderful! I made far more than 18 with the batch though, and I only baked them for 7 minutes, not near the 12-15

Very yummy. I used butter rather than shortening and they were crispy on the outside and chewey in the inside. My husband says they should be a new holiday tradition!
