Ginger Snap Cookies

This is another recipe that I lost for awhile but found it in the bottom of the recipe bag. It’s a keeper and is worth sifting through tons of recipes for. What I like about these cookies — just enough snap without being store bought hard and just the right amount of spice. -Gma
