Gingersnaps Recipe #315024

These are so yummy... My family cannot get enough of these. With these make sure you keep a good eye on them or they will turn hard and not be as flavorful! I got this from a cook book and changed it. Shortening is better to use then cooking oil, but if needed cooking oil makes a good substituion.
