This was an easy, delicious recipe, but I did use fresh grated ginger rather than dried ground ginger - ALOT of it about 3 Tbls.

My mother has made these cookies since I was a little girl and I have been making them since I first got married and I just turned 60. They have been a hit with bake sales, gifts for friends and just a good ol' cookie at Christmas time over all these years. I couldn't believe that this recipe was on this site. Best ginger snap I have ever had.

Good flavor not too sweet, easy. More chewy if you keep baking time at 9 minutes. Went heavy on the powdered ginger. Added 1/2 tsp of cardamon & extra bit of molasses & sugar.
