Ginger Crinkles Cookies

Do you ever glance at the 'you might also like' feature some folks have at the bottom of their posts? I sure do, I'd hate to miss something good and that's where I found these Ginger Crinkles Cookies that were originally posted in 2009. It's someone's Grandmom's recipe so I knew it had to be good:@)

Lorraine writes these are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I'd say that's a perfect description and would like to add, they are very nicely spiced too. You might think 1 tsp of cloves is a lot, but it's very good in these cookies. If you're fond of Ginger Snaps you'll love Ginger Crinkles!
