Ginger Cookies
The family ginger cookies recipe, no idea what its from but its called ginger.txt and has my parent's names typed out.
It says to use shortening so they're chewy, but I've made them with butter and they're about the same.

Ingredients
4 1/2 cups flour
4 tsp ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups butter or shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup+ sugar for coating

Things to try
Replace sugar with brown sugar?
Chocolate chips?
1 tsp nutmeg? allspice?

Steps
1. Stir the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
2. In another mixing bowl, beat the butter/shortening until it's soft. Or melted butter if you're lazy.
3. Add the sugar and beat until "fluffy".
4. Add eggs and molasses, beat well.
5. Add half the flour mixture, beat until combined.
6. Stir in the remaining flour mixture with a spoon until you can't see any powder.
7. Scoop/spoon into a bowl of sugar, roll them around until they're coated, then put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. You can skip this step if you're lazy.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 14 minutes, should be light brown and "puffed". Don't overbake if you want them chewy.
9. Transfer to cooling rack after 2 minutes.
