Family Tradition

Ginger Sugarsnaps are a long standing family recipe. My 97-year old grandma Ginger recently died in a tragic hang-gliding accident. She hang-glided into the mouth of an active volcano somewhere near Fiji. Just before the hot liquid magma consumed her she succumbed to lymphoma.

Don’t cry for grandma, please. She was lucky enough to have died doing what she loved. For nearly 80 years my feisty grandma Ginger would hang glide over destitute sections of America’s inner cities and shower them with her internationally famous sugar snap cookies. If you live in a poor urban area of the United States you likely know the distinct graupel-like sound of grandma Ginger’s cookie storms well. That’s why by 1960 people from areas of intense urban decay began to call these sugar snap cookies “sweet boom booms .”

As I was far and away her favorite grandchild, granny took favor upon me and bequeathed me her sugar snap recipe which I share with you now. You might ask why would I share this prized and closely-guarded family recipe? Two Reasons: 1.) The slums and ghetto’s of the world will crumble without grandma Ginger’s scrumptious sugar snaps; and 2.) I was born without appendages and though I have tried several times I have found that my condition prevents me from hang-gliding. Since I can’t hang-glide, I can not continue grandma Ginger’s seven decade tradition of gentrification via inner city cookie showers….So…if you can bake and you can hang-glide, I implore you to take this below and carry on the cookie shower tradition.
