My All Time Favorite Ginger Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I’ve been making these ginger cookies for years now.  They are a family favorite and easy to whip up for movie night, or any other kind of night that feels like it needs cookies in it.  Or any other day for that matter.  Ok, pretty much anytime you want these cookies, you can have them in less than an hour and that’s good and bad.  Good for your soul, bad perhaps, for your waistline because they are soooooo incredibly good that you can’t stop eating them (well, maybe you could stop eating them, but I can’t)

I like them a bit underdone so the centers are soft.

Seriously, cookie perfection!

    This recipe looks an awful lot like my favourite, except that it uses butter. I love them chewy too. One of these cookies (I may be underestimating here!) and a glass of cold milk and I am very, very happy!
