This was the first recipe I made from the MSBH many years ago. It uses fresh ginger, ginger that you have to peel and grate on a grater. I think it may have been the first time I ever realized that ginger is an actual thing that exists outside of a spice jar.
It’s the best gingersnap recipe I’ve ever come across. The cookies bake up thin and crackled on top.

You can underbake them and you get a really satisfying chewy ginger cookie. I make a bunch of these every Christmas for my family.
I also love to just eat the cookie dough. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Ben and Jerry should mix this dough into some ice cream, give it a hippie name, and watch the money roll in.
