These are so dang good. Love them served with a citrus sorbet in the summer, or something more rich in the winter. Also good with half dipped in chocolate. I think I've only done that once. But it was yummy.
3/4 c butter
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c molasses
4 c. flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs powdered ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
granulated sugar to coat
Beat butter, sug, eggs and molasses well. Add dry ingredients. Refrigerate dough for 1/2 to 1 hour. Form into balls and roll into granulated sugar. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-11 minutes at 350. Cookies will be puffy when removed from oven, but will flatten as they cool. Tops will look cracked. Cool on rack.

these are my favorites.. have you ever tried them w/ lemon frosting? I keep intending to. Go chi go!
Yum, roo. That sounds divine!
Dang right, these are the best! I make them all the time, thanks to you Rachel.
I'm dying to try the brownies though...mmmmmm.
Oh Rachel, I love you for posting this recipe. In December we put together Christmas baskets for mutual night (I am in the YW Pres.) and all of the youth had to bring a baked good. They were to be delivered to widows, investigators and inactives in the ward.
After the baskets were brimming with holiday delectables, there were bags of treats to spare. I told them to go for it and take what they wanted. One girl took a bag of cookies, and put one into her mouth. she then said, "These aren't peanut butter!" She disappointedly threw away the bitten cookie and said, "who wants these?" I said, "well what kind are they?". she had no idea. I tried one and turns out they were the MOST DELICIOUS SOFT AND CHEWY GINGERSNAPS EVER! I ate the whole bag and stuffed the remaining 4 bags in my purse. Merry Christmas to me.
What a long comment. The point is I had no clue who made them because we had like 40 kids participating.
I am soooo making these, very soon.
