How To make Boiled Ginger Snaps
2 c Flour
1 c Brown sugar
1 c Molasses
2 ts Ginger
1 ts Soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Water
1 c Lard (I use Crisco)
Heat molasses and water to boiling point. Add shortening. Add dry ingredients mixed and sifted. Chill. Roll very thin and cut. Bake about 10 minutes in a hot oven.
A note earlier in the cookbook suggests a hot oven should be in the range of 400-450 degrees (these recipes were devised for the ovens of wood stoves, apparently.) I'd say to go with 400F. Very crisp. Very gingery. Source: "Baking Made Easy" Occident Flour cookbook, 1923 * The Polka Dot Palace BBS 1-201-822-3627. Posted by EPONA

Ginger Snap Cookies
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C)
You can use a wooden spoon or a hand held mixer or a stand mixer to combine these ingredients
Cream thoroughly
1/2 cup (125 ml) butter or shortening
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar (UK caster sugar)
Combine and add
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup (60 ml) light molasses
Beat until light and fluffy
Blend or sift together
1 3/4 cups (290 gm) all purpose flour (Canada) bread flour USA or strong flour UK
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) salt
3 teaspoons (15 ml) ginger (add more if you want a stronger ginger flavour)
Gradually add to the creamed mixture, blending thoroughly.
Place the dough on pieces of plastic wrap roll into a log about 2” in diameter. Or press the dough into a plastic wrap lined mini loaf pan or other suitable sized container. Refrigerate overnight or until needed. This dough can also be frozen for later use. You can also press out the entire batch of dough onto the surface of a pizza pan and pre slice into cookie shapes before baking. For example triangles or diamonds.
To bake, preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). While dough is still cold slice off desired number of cookies, making each about 1/8” (3 to 4 mm) thick.Place on greased cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Cookies should be cooked through, they will get crispy as they cool. Wrap remaining dough and return to refrigerator or freezer.
Yield 6 dozen cookies. NOTE to cut thin slices of dough use a thin bladed sharp knife. You may need to dip the knife in hot water (wiped dry) to make the slicing easier.

How to make crystallized ginger (candied ginger)
It's spicy! It's sweet! It's candied ginger. This recipe is pretty easy but takes some time.
To make crystallized ginger, first peel it – I like using a spoon. Scrape the spoon across the surface, it should take off a very thin layer of peel and it’s easy to get around all the nooks and crannies.
Once peeled, slice the ginger into thin slices.
Place the ginger in a pot of cold water and bring it to a boil, simmer for
30 minutes to soften the ginger. Strain the water into a teapot – this is a very strong ginger tea.
Weigh your ginger on a scale. Add it to a pot with an equal weight of sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Turn it onto medium heat and cook until the sugar is thick and syrupy, 20 to 30 minutes.
Turn the ginger out into sugar and leave it to dry.
It’s perfect as snack, and even better in triple ginger cookies.
