Regency Ginger Crisps

"This recipe comes from the book "Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder" by Joanne Fluke. I read the book while on vacation this summer. I want to send the book to my partner in the Used Media Swap, I am saving the recipe here so I can try it later. If you try this recipe before me, please leave a review & let me know how it tastes. By the way, the book was quite fun to read. Another note: I guessed on the serving sizes & will amend once I use this recipe. It just looks too good not to share. Prep time does not include refrigeration time."

  1. Best Ginger snaps I have eaten
     
  2. OMG! My all-time favorite ginger cookie! And I've made a lot of them. This was the perfect combination of molasses & ginger. A very well-balanced cookie. We got 30 cookies using a 1-1/2 inch cookie scoop. I totally forgot to flatten the cookies before baking the first pan but they came out of the oven perfectly round & 1/2 inch thick all the way across. So I didn't bother with the rest of them either. I used parchment lined cookie sheets instead of greasing them & baked each batch 12 minutes exactly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Queenie! We are addicted! :)
