Personal Notes:
I have the fondest memories of going over to my grandma's house and sampling all of her baked goods but especially her gingersnap cookies.

Note by Aunt Sharon: I made these cookies - so good! I was puzzled by "one cube of margarine". Wasn't sure if it was "one stick"? or what? Decided it was one cup of margarine - although I used butter.
