Richard Thomsen requested a recipe for Gingersnaps. I couldn't find a path to his system, so I am posting it here. This recipe is copied without permission from the Culinary Arts Institute cookbook "The Cookie Jar". GINGERSNAPS 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking soda 3 teaspoons ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup molasses 1 egg Sift flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon together; set aside. Cream butter; add sugar gradually, beating until fluffy. Blend in molasses. Add egg and beat thoroughly. Add dry ingredients in thirds, mixing until blended after each addition. Drop by teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 (F) 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen cookies. Rae E.
