Gingerbread

I made some gingerbread over the weekend.  A big warm slice tasted great on a cool, fall night, topped of course, with my favorite whipped topping.  

I used an 8x8 pan since I didn't have a 9x9 sized one.  This seemed to work, but the pieces are very tall!  

Ginger Snap Remix

Just a quick recap of the ginger snaps.  The first batch (seen on the
left in picture below) was rolled in turbinado sugar.  The result was
a shiny, chewy ginger snap that was slightly lighter in color compared
to traditional ginger snaps.  The next batch (right) was rolled in
plain old granulated sugar and I baked them for an extra minute or so.
 Out came a more traditional molasses cookie.  Both batches were a hit
among friends.  I preferred the crispier, traditional variety, but a
lot of friends liked the softer, chewier rendition.
