The most devoted of my small but select group of readers may remember my quest for the perfect gingersnap recipe. I finally got it taste-wise! Here it is, for those of you who may be craving hot and spicy gingersnaps . . .
2 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsps. baking soda, 2 tsps. ginger, 3/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper. Stir together these dry ingredients. Mix 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup molasses, 2 egg whites. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until blended. Form into 1 inch balls, roll in additional granulated sugar and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Almost perfect. Now if I can only get it to snap . . .
