My aunt gave this recipe to my Mom in the 40's or 50's. They were always made for the holiday season only. I remember making these with my Mom.

How To Make meehan family christmastime gingersnaps

Step 1

Sift together all dry ingredients.

Step 2

Cream margarine and sugar. Add molasses and eggs and beat until somewhat fluffy. Hint: Lightly oil the measuring cup that you measure the molasses in - this allows it all to come easily out of the cup.
Step 3

Slowly add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Step 5

Make cinnamon sugar: 1 c. sugar plus 1 tsp. cinnamon mixed together well. Measure chilled dough into 1 TB balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Step 6

Place on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet Bake for 9 to 12 min. at 325 degrees. For softer cookies - bake only 9 or 10 min.
