These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more molasses next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover ginger. I had some candied ginger that I needed to use up, so I decided to make these cookies. They turned out great! The ginger flavor is really nice and the cookies are nice and chewy.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
