    On to these amazing cookies! I used dried, unsweetened ginger candy chunks to add some warmth to the cookies. I love the way that ginger just warms up my body from the inside. I know it’s not for everyone, but I really do enjoy it.

    If you’re not a big fan of whole ginger, you can use fresh ginger in place of the candy bits in the cookie.

    The original recipe called these “Gingersnaps”, but there was nothing snappy about them. They were thick and chewy and so good!
