Gingersnaps
By: Kim Wilson
Molasses and spice combine into this tasty little cold-weather cookie. This recipe features teff flour, but you can substitute sorghum* if you can't readily find teff. If you like your gingersnaps extra "zippy" add an extra 1 tsp. ground ginger. For really crisp cookies, leave the cookies in the oven at 225 degrees for another 15 minutes or so and then leave them in the oven until the oven is cool.
