A soft, chewy cookie, perfect for changing your mind about gingersnaps.

As a child, I only ate gingersnaps on camping trips. At home, we were a chocolate chip cookie family. Today, I’m a big fan of all things ginger. Those ginger candies from Trader Joes, a spicy ginger chai tea, candied ginger scones, I love them all!

I don’t know if it was the hefty dose of dried ginger in these cookies or the fact that I’d just opened a new jar, but the smell of ginger as I mixed them up the batter was so intense. After they’re baked, the taste is subtle at first bite, then the ginger sneaks up on you, almost as an afterthought. It definately makes it’s presence…
