They are called Gingersnaps, and the flavor does snap, but these cookies have an amazing chewiness that you won’t be able to stop eating. I had these for the first time in 1983. My friend Janet brought them to a women’s retreat. After the first one I couldn’t stop eating them. I kept getting up and crossing the room to sneak just one more. Finally Janet laughed and said “I have never seen you eat like this!” My next birthday I received a basket of cookies and the recipe. I have adjusted the flours to be gluten free, of course, but the amazing texture and flavor are still there. Try them yourself! This recipe is quick and very forgiving. There is no chilling so they can be baked right away. And more importantly they can be eaten right away. Enjoy!
