I think I know the problem witht the gingersnap cookies. This morning I searched the Web for Barb’s recipe and I found one very similar. The only difference is I used an additional ingredient, 1 tsp baking powder. It must be the baking powder that made the cookies rise and soften. I will try this recipe and see if it’s it.
Spicy Ginger Mounds
Sift together in one bowl:
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt
Cream together in separate bowl:
3/4 cup shortening OR margarine OR butter
1 cup sugar
Beat into creamed mixture:
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in dry ingredients. Shape into small balls, roll in sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Looks like you’ve got all the domestic moves down pat, and you’re way foxier than Barbara Billingsley ever was.
The real question is, “do you speak jive” ?
