SNAPPY GINGERSNAPS
Another wonderful recipe from Emily Luchetti. I GUARANTEE these are the best gingersnaps you will ever taste. These cookies are a staple around here at Christmas. My Pastor begs me for a batch every year. I like to make the dough and freeze in logs, the slice and bake them when I need them.

- Using about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, roll into balls and place them 2 inches apart on parchment lined pans.

- These cookies are best the day they are baked, but will keep for several days.
- Note: You can make the dough ahead, roll into logs, freeze, then slice and bake when you need them.
- That's how I make them.
- Note #2: You can also dip these in chocolate, just half-way up the cookie, to dress them up.
"SNAPPY" GINGERSNAPS
This cookie uses white pepper and grated fresh ginger! These can be rolled out but I usually roll them into 1-inch balls, then in sugar before baking so they have a crackled fifnish. They melt inyour mouth with a zing!
