14valentines Day 4: Reproductive Rights and Motherhood One of my most cherished things I inherited from my grandmother was her recipe box. Eventually I want to get most of the various recipes typed up and organized, but here's one of the reciped I enjoy.
Ginger Snaps
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
1 tbsp. ginger (I assume she meant ground ginger)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix- form into balls & roll in sugar. 350F for 12-15"
I would probably use butter instead of shortening. *shudder* These are the cookies that everyone in the family misses- she used to make them for most holidays. They were my faaaaavourite.
