Rich & Chewy Gingersnaps
"This is a recipe my Mom and Gramma used, and comes from an old Mennonite cookbook, and yields TONS of delicious cookies for sharing among friends, family, work or the kids' school.
**The bake time you select will determine softness, so if you like a softer cookie, do NOT over bake this recipe!
***This cookie recipe is extremely rich and perhaps not diet-friendly, so definitely best used as a holiday treat!"

I have only put the mix together and it smells heavenly! I can't wait to see how they turn out! Ok later...1st batch is YUMMMY soft (so if you want thin crisp this is not for you) and deeeelishus! Perfect at 9 mins (dunno how accurate my oven is)
