Cookies: Gingersnap

Monday, December 10, 2012
 My friend Debbie is an amazing cook, and she shared this recipe at a cookie exchange a few years ago. I decided to make these and jar these up....I love everything ginger and they fit snuggly in mason jars, another love of mine.

I am definitely going to try these as they are a favorite of my sister. She will be so surprised to have a jar in her stocking!
