INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS
In 1998, I was invited by Pat Adrian, director of the Good Cook division of the Book of the Month Club, to judge the group's annual office baking contest. There were luscious cakes, pies and cookies of all types, but these gingersnaps were the hands-down winners. Julie Ellis-Clayton, the winner of the contest, was kind enough to share her recipe with me.

Steps:
- Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

THE PERFECT GINGER SNAP
Once you try these you will share this recipe with family and friends. These are the most delicious ginger snaps and are very simple to make. They remind me of the ginger snaps I used to buy when I was a child. They are a little crunchy and a little chewy at the same time, spicy but not too spicy for children.

Tips:
- The key to crunchy ginger snaps is to chill the dough before baking. This helps the cookies to keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- If you don't have ground ginger, you can make your own by grinding whole ginger in a spice grinder or food processor.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Conclusion:
These crunchy ginger snaps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover ginger. With their warm and spicy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and festive cookie, give these ginger snaps a try!
