Gingersnaps (Joy of Baking)

I can't get enough of the ginger! My final batch of Christmas cookies had to be ginger ones.  I picked the ginger snaps recipe from Joy of Baking.  I added a quarter cup of diced crystallised ginger to give it an extra kick.
 
Before we roll it out.
 It was easy to make, similar in technique to the peanut butter cookies and chocolate christmas biscuits.  Having a freestanding mixer really helps!

Little balls of sugar covered cookie batter.

After being flattened into discs.
It turned out beautifully chewy and soft.  I could've baked it longer for a crisper ginger snap cookie, but I like mine chewy.  These were also packed off as Christmas gifts.

All done! Yummy!
