Re: Grandma's Gingersnaps

She wrote this on an envelope that has my writing on the outside "To Grandma" in a fourth grader's cursive hand... I wonder if she wrote that recipe there for me?
I ate so many of those cookies one time that I couldn't eat them again for YEARS! They are snappy snaps: spicy- cook them hard or soft.
