These cookies are based on this Ginger Molasses Crinkle Cookies recipe I found in a Canadian Living Magazine a few years back. What I love about this recipe, other than the flavour, is the fact that the fat in the cookie is vegetable oil, so it is a cookie whose dough takes about 5 minutes to make and you don't have to worry about having to soften the butter or anything like that.
Of course, I made changes to the recipe. I approach my knitting the same way - I always have to make it a bit different. These are my changes:
1) I added 1/2 tsp of cardomom to the dry mixture.
2) Rather than rolling the balls in normal white sugar, I roll them in turbinado sugar (raw sugar with large crystals) for that extra crunch and richer flavour.
I love the texture of these cookies when cooked - they are crispy on the outside, but still retain some of the chewiness in the middle.
And because I couldn't resist another picture:
Enjoy!

I even have a WiP to show off:
It doesn't look like much right now, but it will be a present for a little boy I know.

Ditto to what Teri said, I want that recipe, I love ginger cookies and have never found a good recipe for them. mmmmm.... I am drooling. Love you! Jaimes
I'm not much for ginger cookies, but the flash glinting off those sugar crystals makes me want to chow down. Yum.
Got your card, love. Thanks!
I’m gaining weight just looking at those cookies. Sigh.
Must eat cookies. Now. And I don't HAVE any.
Those look delicious!! And I love that I don't have to mix the butter...I may just make these yet!
Yum! I bet your house does smell amazing!
I was just thinking "Is there going to be a Part 3?"
Jo, I must say that those cookies are absolutley amazing. William and I made them this morning and omg they rock. Jaime and William
Hey, I also just baked some ginger crinkle cookies! Yours look big and yummy, I want to eat them.
You're making me hungry! Those look absolutely yummy.
I love those online Canadian Living recipes. Yumm, I used to make those cookies as a kid.
Okay _ I've made 2 batches so far! Sans cardomom (sorry, just can't do it!) The first batch was a bit over cooked... let's call those ones ginger Snaps! The second batch though - perfection! I made smaller cookies, and cooked them at 325 for 9-20 minutes... pure heaven! I've had more milk today than I have in a long time!!
Thanks joey!
