This is a great recipe, very indulgent, but soooo good. And
as long as we're discussing recipe gems from Damsel, I must put in a
good word for her gingersnaps. Very easy to make, and they were a big
hit last Christmas with all the family. They also keep for a long
time, if you happen to hide a batch from the husband... I mean, forget
some of them somewhere.
