Traditional Ginger Snaps

At work every year before Christmas we have a "grazing" table where we all sign up to bring munchies to share with everyone else.  Today was the first day and I chose to bring Ginger Snaps. These are quite delicious and I have to say it's a good recipe.  Your family and friends will enjoy them as well.  As always, Bon Appétit!
