Ginger Snaps

"In my search for the Arnott's NSW Gingernut biscuit recipe I came across this recipe from the internet. I like ginger - with grunt - so I double the amount written below. It's simple, and if baked thoroughly, is very, very snappy. The first batch I made, I pulled out too soon, and they were chewy, so I threw them back in til they were that rich goldy brown all over, and that made all the difference. Because many of you guys have different sized tablespoons to aussies, I will talk in teaspoons, okay? I used Golden Syrup but you could use molasses, like some other ginger snap recipes use. Small pieces of candied ginger would be a great addition but was not in the original recipe below."
