I like to serve these special treats with lemon curd or lemon sherbet, either of which it complements the ginger flavor. —Eleanor Senske, Rock Island, Illinois

I was a bit skeptical about making these cookies because I'm not a huge fan of ginger. But I'm so glad I tried them! They're the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

I love the chewy texture of these cookies. They're also not too sweet, which I appreciate.
