#PretendCookingShow: Ginger Snaps

I was raised by all of Rolling Hills neighborhood, but my neighbors Marge and Ed had pole position. Why? 1. They were in charge of the extra key 2. Marge’s Gingersnaps. I can still smell their cozy home, and I am happy to share Marge’s recipe with you. These, by the way, are the perfect autumnal bake-with-your-toddler cookie! Also—this dough works beautifully (says my mom) rolled out for gingerbread men and their houses. 🎃👵🏻👻🕸🍁♥️
