Gerry Schaal's Gingersnaps

Sam is in Kitchen Stadium as we speak stirring up a batch of his Mom's famous Gingersnaps. My sister, Barb, and I call my kitchen 'Kitchen Stadium' when we are doing marathon baking projects. Some of our best times together have been spending time in Kitchen Stadium baking round-the-clock to get ready for some of the big Bach family parties. Our creations are so successful that sometimes we have to make ourselves some more when we get home because everybody enjoyed them 'so quickly'. In the last 24 hours Sam and I have made Chocolate Snappers, Choclate Chip Cookies, Scotch-a-roos, and now Gingersnaps. We were assigned to bring the sweets to a party and we are bringing them.
