"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 tbsp. butter
2/3 c. sugar
1 rounded tbsp. light corn syrup
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground ginger

For filling:
1 c. heavy or whipping cream
2 tbsp. brandy
Directions:
Directions:
With electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; then beat in the light corn syrup. Sift the flour and ginger and mix to a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until smooth. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375º F. Grease a baking sheet.
Working in batches of four, form walnut-sized balls of dough. Place well apart on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few moments. Working quickly, slide a metal spatula under each cookie, turn over, and wrap around the handle of a wooden spoon. When firm, slide off the snaps and place on wire rack to cool.
To make filling, whip the cream and brandy until soft peaks form. Fill a pastry bag and pipe into each end of the brandy snaps just before serving.

Personal Notes:
This is a variation on a Christmas cookie Grandma Rust made each year. We never filled them with cream but we should have!
