these were pretty good...i think that I like a stronger flavored gingersnap but if you are looking for something with a mild flavor, give these a try!

    I'm not giving a star rating on this recipe because my problem might have been my own fault. The cookies had good flavor but despite following the recipe exactly, my cookies spread out and got very thin and burned on the edges and broke apart when I took them off of the cookie sheet. I'm wondering if my problem was because I let the dough rest in the fridge while I made other cookie doughs.

    These soft gingersnaps are exactly the cookie I have been looking for! They're very easy to make, and the dough keeps well in the fridge for a day or so if you don't want to make the whole batch at once. I baked them (one-inch balls) for exactly 10 minutes — they look like they're not done when you take them off the pan, but they firm up quickly so, if you want a soft cookie, don't bake them any longer. Absolutely delicious, LeeAnn!

    I agree with all the previous reviews--really terrific cookies! Nice and chewy if not overbaked. I also loved the molasses/ginger flavor and next time will probably make those teaspoons of ginger heaping ones! Thanks for posting!!
