Old fashioned Ginger snap recipe - help - lost cookbook

5 years ago

Merry Holidays to you all...


I am supposed to make ginger snaps for my mom to decorate tomorrow. She calls Christmas and Easter her food coloring Holidays.


I looked at the recipe from her ancient decrepit falling-apart cookbook earlier today in order to write an ingredient list. I did not photograph the page (sigh). Then I took my mom for a ride to purchase the ingredients. When we got home the cookbook was nowhere to be found. Between myself, her partner or less likely her we put it away so carefully in her very very crowded house that I couldn’t find it anywhere. I figured I would find the recipe in one of my cookbooks or online. No dice.


It was a rolled out cookie recipe. It involved boiling molasses over shortening which I haven’t found in any other recipe. It had no sweetener other than molasses. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Help...
