Candied Ginger - Cardamom Bars image

If you are a ginger freak like me then these are the perfect cookie. They are easy to make in the food processor. They are kind of like shortbread packed with ginger and cardamom. I got this one out of the newspaper some time back, it was by Linda Faus. Warning!!!! These have serious addiction potential.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed these bars. The cardamom flavor is really strong and it balances out the ginger perfectly.
