Bake 11- 13 minutes-- Edges should be brown-- Cookies crisp upon cooling.

Note-- bake a few to get the crispness you desire-- under done can give you a chewy centre core-- or overdone could give you a crunchy hard cookie-- I always test bake.
9
these cookies puff up and spread rounder.
10
the puffiness goes flat at end of baking time-- to a flat crisp cookie-- Also Taste test, to see if you have enough spicey ginger taste, or would like to add more.

Baker always gets the best end of the wooden spoon--.
12
This dough freezes very well into logs also.
13
Just slice then roll each slice into a ball and dip into sugar.
14
Press down just lightly as cookie flatens when fully baked.
