Are you a fan of Ginger Snaps? Not those rock hard, crumbs everywhere, store-brand kind. How about some crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, gingery goodness?

Don't you just want to eat 100 of those?

The link at the top is for the King Arthur recipe. I made these over the weekend (when avoiding grading) and they were delicious. Kevin and I both loved them. Kevin's coworkers also really liked them. I used butter instead of shortening, and nutmeg because we didn't have cloves. Next time, I will kick up the ginger to a tablespoon for more bite.

The best part about these cookies was that I froze half of the sugared cookie dough balls. Tonight after dinner was heated in the oven, I popped a few cookies in to bake up. Fresh cookie smell in the apartment and fresh cookies in our bellies!!
