A good friend of mine found out I loved Ginger snaps but they usual recipes were too hard for me to eat unless I made tea or coffee to dunk them. She went out to find a supper soft big cookie to make for me to eat when I went out to help cut wood for their farm one day. I wouldn't eat them, but my daughters did and I saw how soft and flexible they truely were. I ate more than my share! Great for children, Seniors, and anyone who likes a softer cookie that isn't chewy! Great conversation piece too.
