So I have to say that I love a good Ginger......ginger what? You ask. Well just to clarify I prefer my ginger without the snap. I love a nice soft chewy cookie and ginger "snaps" are no exception. These gingers are my go to recipe. They are perfect for Christmas baking, or if you are just craving a sweet treat.
I hosted a little Valentine's Day playdate today for my toddler and preschooler, and these cookies were on the menu, among other tastey treats whose recipes will come later. I tried to give away my leftovers to my good friend today to no avail! :( Having these in my fridge and some in my freezer right now is killing me! However I did discover over the Christmas holidays that frozen treats are just as tastey if not sometimes better than fresh. And not to mention totally worth the risk of a broken tooth or messy chocolate face from trying to knaw through that crazy frozen bar in every direction. Also with that discovery came the discovery that I can no longer eat a treat a day everyday( 1, 10 what's the difference) consequence free. I think my scale must be off by 10 or 30 pounds. Anyways enough about that here is very yummy and chewy cookie recipe. They do freeze very nicely too btw ;)
