The hubby is gone ATV riding and I will have the whole night to myself. He snatched a bag of my cookies and left for several hours. I have a candle lit and lovely music playing. The scent of ginger is wafting through the air. Oh how I wish it were fall! These cookies were yummy; however they were not as snappy as most ginger snaps you buy in the store. They were crispy yet moist. Very good indeed. The first batch got a little too brown for my taste..........as the recipe said to bake for 15 min. Dummy me should have checked at 10.
