While the Ginger Snaps are DELIGHTFUL, the killer cookie was the Black Forest!<br /><br />So, if you are genuinely interested in creating cookies that are to die for, David is the one you need to engage.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Susan M.

I rolled them out to 1/16 to get them to the right thickness. I substituted bakers ammonia for baking soda. The texture was correct but the flavor lacks something. Still working on it. You posting was a great inspiration.
