As guilt-free-as-they-get cookies

My mother's mother is an amazing baker, and as much as I hate saying it, I owe some of my skills to her. As a kid she taught me our family favorite, Ginger Snaps, which were kept in full bounty inside that cow cookie jar (and yes, it 'moo'd' when you opened the lid). Now, although the cow cookie jar is no longer living, I still do break out my tattered recipe and fill the kitchen with sweet ginger spice. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I saw a recipe for non-fat gingersnaps on David Lebovitz. And although they don't have quite the same flavor, I think ditching my grandma's 1/2lb of shortening had some effect. 

You can find that chewy and tasty cookie here.
