ginger snaps, aunt dorothy's

I make these every Christmas, my daughter never got to meet my Aunt, but she loves these cookies as much as I do, so we are passing down her tradition! Aunt Dorothy never cooked, to the point she had to have her husband, Uncle Frank, turn on the oven for her! This is quite literally the only thing she ever made, and shared this secret recipe only with me. Not even her own children got this recipe.

35-2-19, made to roll out for BBB. Took 6 cups flour. Doubled the recipe, and first half I rolled right away, took 22 min at 350 degrees and made them very, VERY puffy. So put farther apart next time. LOL

42nd half of the batch with the extra flour is in fridge overnight to bake and see if it is as puffy...
