ginger snaps

I made these incorrectly.

Here's what I learned: 1) Butter probably doesn't work very well here. 2) corn syrup + brown sugar cannot be substituted for molasses. They're too flat, they cooked too quickly, and they're a little bit oily. They're delicious. Recipes all over the place with little variation:

3/4 cup margarine (I never use margarine, maybe oil would be better)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 Cups flour
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda (this seems like a lot)
1 Tablespoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar to coat dough balls

Chill the dough. Form into walnut size balls, smash a little bit. Bake 10 - 12 min. @ 350℉, (mine were done in 7 minutes, that was part of their wrongness)

I actually only made these because I need some to use for the crust in a cheese cake tomorrow.
