Double Ginger Cookies

October 28, 2012 

Double ginger cookies fresh from the rack. 

"When you get a chance, could you wipe that butter off the wall?" - A. the Kitchen Cleanliness Inspector
I always forget how hard it is to bake without a proper stand mixer. Combining butter, flour and sugar to make cookie dough seems infinitely harder when you have to do everything by hand. Luckily, with a little elbow grease, my messy efforts resulted in these delicious Double Ginger Cookies.

Moist moist moist. 

With cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger and crystallized ginger, these brown medallions were absolutely popping with holiday warmth. The big hunks of crystallized ginger were especially fragrant and gooey - I used "Australian" cubed ginger that can be found at Whole Foods.

The recipe for this can be found at Serious Eats (one of my favorite food websites). Click here for the recipe.

I bet these would taste extra wonderful with a big glass of milk and a good book.
