Soft Gingersnaps

Do they count as gingersnaps if they are soft and chewy? Whatever you want to call them, they are addictingly delicious. I originally got the recipe from allrecipes a couple years ago. The recipe makes 5 1/2 dozen cookies. I made a batch in mid-December and by Christmas I was making another batch because we had eaten them all (we being just the two of us).  They are now a holiday staple in our house.
