Notes: Grandma's Gingersnaps came from a cookbook I bought while living in Texas - "Cooking Texas Style" by Candy Wagner and Sandra Marquez. I had dreams of learning to make all kinds of Texas specialties. Turns out that Grandma's Gingersnaps was the only recipe I ever made from the book! They are perfection! (Karen's favorite!)
