Even More Intense Soft Ginger Cookie

Posted on Thu 15 December 2022 in food

It's about that time of year to update cookie recipes, isn't it?

This is a flavorful soft ginger cookie. I developed this recipe because I find many gingersnap recipes to have too little ginger flavor and intensity. This cookie has the perfect balance of flavor and intensity.

  1. 3/4 cup butter - softened 45s in microwave

Even more intense cookie with
