Gingersnaps


Crispy with chewy center and strong Ginger flavor. Personally,  I love Ginger for it's medicinal properties: alleviates nausea (Life saver while pregnant) motion sickness , aids in digestion and boosts immune system. BUT not so much in my desserts.  Otherwise they are great.  
I used Costco butter (ALL done) and O eggs. I left the dough in the fridge for 7 hours (Borders and Party City).  It's actually a lot of fun rolling the dough balls in the sugar. 
I think I was having so much fun that I made them too big and was short 22 cookies in the end (Made 38 versus 60). Next time will use less than 1Tbsp for size. 

Side note: I have such a resistance towards rotating cookies halfway through. It reminds me of  having to wake up my newborn to feed during the night when she was fast asleep. I know I should BUT she looks so peaceful and skipping one feeding won't hurt her right? RIGHT???
 That's when "MOMMY GUILT" (and BAKER's GUILT)  kicks in. 
Babies and cookies are doing just fine.

186 to Go!
