If you like some zing in your ginger cookie. These will be sure to please. I also included a few options to make the cookie your own. This is the way I make my ginger cookies. My family, friends, and neighbors love them. They look forward to the cookies every year. They have just the right zing . That ginger cookies should have. They also have candied ginger in them. That makes them even tastier. Eat them plain, sugared, or frosted. Enjoy!
