The Ultimate Ginger Cookie

cookies, ginger

This Ginger Cookie recipe is so good. The cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. A perfect cookie for dunking in a glass of cold milk, or complimenting a nice herbal tea.

I like to serve these cookies during the winter Holiday Season. Always a crowd favourite, they are the first ones to disappear off of the cookie tray.
