Gingersnaps

This post doesn't have a recipe because the recipe is, according to my parents, a family secret. These gingersnaps are delicious--twenty times better than what you'd get in any store. I've made them twice, but for some reason, when I made them this summer more than half of them ended up flat enough to have holes, and burnt after less than half the time the recipe required them to be baked for. But still, the ones that turned out were very good and were a very big hit! They were perfectly thin and crispy. I just need to figure out how the butter needs to be stored, how things should be mixed, etc, to figure out just why most of them turned out to be duds.
