Damsel's incredible Ginger Snaps

[weedfam]

Thank you thank you thank you for the recipe. It's every bit as good as
you said, maybe better.

Produced a nice crisp cookie, about 120 of them <G>

I did put the dough in the freezer for an hour or so, since it was in
the high 80's in my kitchen, before I turned on the oven.

The cookie monster of the house kept sneaking into the kitchen with her
water glass, and coming back with the glass empty, but her mouth full.
DH and I like 'em, too.

It's a keeper.

believe I'll be going in that direction ;-)

Actually, you posted the doubled version before, altho the shortening
was 1-3/4 cups.
And I forgot the salt, you are right: there's enough sodium in the
baking soda to
obviate the need for it.

Holy cow! I halved the recipe with MasterCook ... I didn't realize that it
changed the measurements in that way. I'll double it back up again.
Thanks for letting me know!

Hang on ... I just checked the other posts, via Google, and the double
batch has always been 1-1/2 cups of shortening.

I hope that isn't true. There is A way to fix that, you know.
