Ginger cookies

Dessert

Jump to recipe

I originally got this recipe from my mother-in-law. I decreased the sugar because I found it to be too sweet and I cream the butter and sugar first for a softer cookie. If you want her ginger snaps, just use a full cup of sugar and just mix the first 4 ingredients together without creaming the butter and sugar first. The rest is the same.
