Recipe Introduction
Gingies is a favorite of our family. Be sure to roll these quite thick and don't over bake. We frost with a buttercream frosting ( some cream cheese added). Tupperware is a great place to store them and they are soooo goood the next day. If I don't feel like rolling them out I roll them in balls and then in sugar before I bake.
