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.
