SHARI'S EXTRA-SPICY GINGERSNAPS
My family loves spicy foods. I created this recipe so that we could even enjoy some spicy heat in a cookie. If you too enjoy the heat, use the full amount of cayenne pepper.-Shari Upchurch, Dearing, Georgia

EXTRA SPICY GINGERSNAPS
Warning: These cookies are ADDICTIVE! Try them once and you'll be hooked. These are the most requested (and eaten) cookies that I make. Even my husband who doesn't eat sweets can't leave these cookies alone.

- 3. Place some granulated sugar on wax paper or plate. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls and roll in sugar until lightly coated. Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheets leaving 3-inches of space between cookies. Bake until browned, approximately 10-13 minutes. Do NOT overbake.

- 4. NOTE: I found this recipe years ago on a website and have modified it slightly. I do not use the parchment-lined baking sheets as I have found that my stone baking sheet that I got from Pampered Chef works great. Also, I tend to make my cookies a little larger than 3/4-inch (I use a cookie scoop)and usually bake them in my gas oven for 13 minutes.
