These are what I grew up on, my mom always baked. These are my fav so I don't make them very often, cause I'd eat them all! lol I prefer them crisper rather than softer, dipped in milk they are great.

That is somewhat what I used, but no brown sugar and I used orange juice instead of water, they turned out pretty good.

I made some before with real ginger root. They turned out too moist, and not gingery enough. I should have also used powder, too.

I'm done for awhile too! This morning I made toffee bars, peanut butter cookies, and the dough for chocolate crinkles. Later got to make more snickerdoodles, the kids ate most of them. Going to make lemon bars too! Later, the cherry pies. Smells good, but I'm getting tired of licking my fingers!
