These are one rich, spicy, melt in the mouth, awesome little treat that will keep you going all winter!!!!
Summer has gone – yep it seemed to vanish overnight. Suddenly I’m freezing and I don’t seem to know what I’ve done with any of my warm cardigans!! Oh well, at least I always know where the warming foods can be found!!! I love ginger for that – it’s a real warming comfort food for me –the kind that goes perfectly with that almond milk chia latte – ooooooo I have to have one of them soon!!! After all there is nothing I love more than visiting my parents, curling up in an armchair next to their fire with good book, a warm drink and a tasty treat.
Okay I know it might not seem cold enough for that just yet but there is no harm in being ready!! These are too good to wait for the snow.
I have always loved ginger – gingercake, gingerbread, gingernuts. And for me at least ginger is at its very best when it’s complimented with molasses – together they produce that, extra special, deep, rich results that I couldn’t resist trying to transfer over to cookie - and I’m so glad I did. Truly decadent one will never be enough!!!
This cookie has all the flavour of dark gingerbread, but is somehow lighter. It has all the traditional crunch of a cookie with a soft centre too. They are super quick an east to bake too.
So grab you apron, your serving spoon and your baking tray and let’s make some cookies!!! :)
