Ginger snap cookies go flatj
My moms gingersnap recipe made ginger snaps that were puffy, crisp and cracked on top and delicious but when I try to make them they flatten out and are kind of chewy. she uses Crisco and sifts the dry mixture over the creamed shortening several times , mixing in by hand. what am I doing wrong and how can I get them to be puffy and cracked on top and crunchy. Thanks
