ANNE SEVERSON'S GINGERSNAPS
Gingersnaps have long been the workhorse of our family Christmas cookie plate. Oh, sure, there were dalliances with other cookies, trends that came and went. We endured the rum-ball phase, and experiments with questionable fudge recipes. But these gingersnaps, not the sexiest cookie and perhaps not the most delicious, had long been the most reliable cookie, the most universally loved.

Steps:
- In a stand mixer or food processor, cream together the butter and 1 cup sugar, then add the egg, soda, salt, spices and molasses and mix well.
- Add flour and mix well. Use a bit more flour if the dough seems too sticky - it should be stiff. Shape into a ball and refrigerate for at least 1 .5 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into small balls (smaller than a golf ball but bigger than a marble). Rolls balls in a bowl of sugar; set each on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 11 to 13 minutes, or until puffy. Cool on a wire rack.

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS
In 1998, I was invited by Pat Adrian, director of the Good Cook division of the Book of the Month Club, to judge the group's annual office baking contest. There were luscious cakes, pies and cookies of all types, but these gingersnaps were the hands-down winners. Julie Ellis-Clayton, the winner of the contest, was kind enough to share her recipe with me.

Steps:
- Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

DIPPED GINGERSNAPS
I get tremendous satisfaction making and giving time-tested yuletide treats like these soft, chewy cookies. Dipping them in white chocolate makes much-loved gingersnaps even more special. -Laura Kimball, West Jordan, Utah
