I made a batch of these last night since this is one of my mom's favorites and she is visiting this weekend. (I tried the recipe as is and the shortening yielded a very crisp cookie.) My husband and son don't care for Gingersnaps, so I asked if they would run some over to a few of our neighbors to enjoy. They were half way back down the street, when one elderly neighbor yelled from her porch, "These are the BEST I've ever had!" After hearing that they both came in and decided to try one. Then they both had seconds! Can't wait to see what Mom thinks . . . .
