This is so much like my favorite Soft Ginger Cookies. My recipe was printed in the Cumberland Congregational Church cookbook , A Whale of a Cookbook, published in about 1964. The only difference is the oatmeal and crystalized ginger. Mine come out looking just like yours. My family loves these cookies! I will now try them with the oatmeal and ginger. Thanks!
I'm sure there are many similar recipes floating around; it's a classic. Was that Cumberland, Maine, by any chance? PJH
