Gorgeous Gingersnaps




Ginger Snaps!  They are so simple and so tasty!  This is a staple recipe from The Joy of Cooking.  Enjoy these sweet and spicy treats.

Preheat oven to 325F.  Cream in a bowl:

3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 teaspoons white vinegar

Then add:

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 teaspoons ground dried ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves

Drop by the spoonful onto grease cookie sheets.  Bake 12 minutes.  They are delicious warm, but the joy of this recipe is that they are nice and soft when they have cooled.  Dip in tea, coffee or eggnog and enjoy.
