COOKIE JAR GINGERSNAPS



Cookie Jar Gingersnaps image

My grandma kept two cookie jars in her pantry. One of the jars, which I now have, always had these crisp and chewy gingersnaps in it. They're still my favorite cookie recipe. My daughter, Becky, used this recipe for a 4-H fair and won a blue ribbon. -Deb Handy, Pomona, Kansas
