Recipe Description
Any ginger lovers out there? These double ginger molasses cookies will make your heart sing. I love ginger and this recipe gave me a reason to pick up some crystallized ginger. After buying a big ol’ bag of it, I realized that I could probably make my own crystallized ginger pretty easily. I just need to grab some ginger root from the store and I’ll be testing a recipe out for you next week.
