Grandma’s Gingersnap Cookies
By Emily Smith
Gin.ger.snap: a delicious, flavorful cookie sweetened with honey & molasses and spiced with ginger.
Perfect to enjoy with a hot cup of chai tea and a good book on a rainy day.
Hey, wait a minute?
I love delicious cookies….and hot cups of tea, and good books…and wait – it’s suppose to rain today…
Well, what do you know? It must be fate…fate saying…relax, stop everything and have a warm, spicy, lightly sugared, perfectly satisfying cookie… sit back with that book you’ve been wanting to read,
make a cup of your favorite tea, chill on a Saturday, and eat some cookies Lady.
I guess I know what I’ll be doing today…
What are you up to?
Happy Saturday,
