Day 36: Spice Snaps

I baked these on a rainy Michigan day. When the boys came home from school it was a perfect warm treat. Cousin to the popular ginger snap cookie, these spice snaps will leave your taste buds happy and wanting more.

The boys suggested making an ice cream sandwich out of them in the future, I think they are on to something! Maybe with cinnamon ice cream?
