Never fails! I declare I’m cutting something out of my diet, and within a day, I’m baking with said ingredient in large quantities! So here it is, plain and simple: I’m a flour junky! Apparently I’m not alone, according to Wheat Belly, the book I just read, there are millions of us out there. So I’m cutting bread (and wicked bagels) out of my diet. And that’s why I’m baking gingersnap cookies, duh!
I used my The Back In The Day Bakery Cookbook, and I’ve got to say their gingersnaps are delicious. I’m having company over for dinner tomorrow night, so I doubled the recipe and I’m keeping the dough in the fridge to bake some right before they arrive. Mmmm…the house will smell like a gingersnap factory (I can’t help it, I used to be a realtor).
And voila! The finished product. I cooked them a little longer than suggested, because I love a crunchy gingersnap. Mmmmmm.
