Did a bit of experimenting with this recipe in that I baked one sheet of cookies for just the minimum amount of time, while the other sheet was in for the maximum! Both are GREAT GINGER COOKIES ~ If you like the real snap, the latter one is for you, but if you prefer a little bit of chew, then . . . Anyway, they're a nice addition to my cookie sale this weekend! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
