Ginger Pennies ( Rose Levy Beranbaum) image

From Beranbaum's 'Rose's Christmas Cookies' book, this makes a TON of tiny ginger cookies! Great for holiday parties and open houses. I'd made these as part of a cookie tray for our holiday house tour supporting the historic district in which I live. It takes a while to pipe out all the cookies, but you can get LOTS on one sheet. They last for months in an airtight container - I had mine in plastic zip bags. Times are estimates. Makes at LEAST 25 dozen tiny chip-like cookies.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again using the recipe more carefully.

These cookies are a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I thought I'd give these cookies a try. I was surprised to find that I actually liked them! The ginger flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

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

I've made these ginger pennies several times now, and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make, and they're always delicious. I love the way the crystallized ginger adds a little bit of crunch, and the molasses gives them a nice chewy texture.

These ginger pennies are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The crystallized ginger adds a nice crunch, and the molasses gives them a rich, complex flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
