Old-Fashioned Gingersnaps

Real gingersnaps—a cookie lover’s indulgence—are impossible to resist. If you like them crunchy, bake them a little longer than suggested here. You are in the soft-and-chewy-ginger-cookie camp, bake them a little less. The secret to their addictively delicious crunch? The dough is formed into balls and then rolled in turbinado sugar rather than granulated sugar.
