Ginger is good for you, yes?

I wanted a ginger snap without the outside sugar and the inside over sweet taste. I wanted the taste of a traditional gingerbread man but with snap! And I got it!!

Here's the recipe I used.

These were the most satisfying to make. For one thing, as much as I love cookie dough, this was not even remotely appealing to eat so I did not get full while I cleaned up. The dough came out of the bowl into a plastic bag and stayed in the fridge in plastic bag all night.

I lightly floured the mat and then used wax paper on top of the ball of dough. Rolled out very nicely and evenly and no sticking!!



I squeezed in too many on the first round but corrected after.



Now I have a very good lot for storage testing if I don't eat them all first.

The plan is a few in the cookie jar. A few on a plate in the open air. A few in a zip lock bag.

Damn they are good.

Thanks for posting the recipe! I saw from your other posts that they stay crisp and was looking to see if you'd posted the recipe.
