GRANDMA'S GINGER COOKIES
Everyone marvels at the "thinness" of these cookies. They're very easy to handle when rolling out. Voted "Favorite cookie" of our hometown radio station in 1992. I called in for the recipe and have been baking them ever since. These are especially good during the holidays.

Steps:
- 1. Mix in order given, ( I whisk the spices and salt into one of the cups of flour), and add enough flour to make a soft dough. Putting dough in refrigerator over night makes it easier to handle.
- 2. Roll out thin (1/8 inch or less) on pastry cloth. Using a 3 inch scalloped cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on an UNGREASED cookie sheet. (May sprinkle sugar on top of unbaked cookie but seems to create bubbles).
- 3. Bake in hot oven, 350 degrees for 5-8 minutes. Cool a moment on cookie sheet.
- 4. Don't be afraid to handle the dough. If cookies look pale, they're not done; bake until beginning to turn color. Don't use the 4 inch cookie cutter. Once cooled, cookies can be stored in airtight container and freeze well, also.
