Steps:
- Finely grate the ginger into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press with the back of a spoon to squeeze out the juice (you'll need 1 tablespoon juice); set aside. Whisk the flour, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the vanilla and ginger juice. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; form into two 1-by-9-inch logs. Wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Unwrap the logs and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the edges are golden, about 13 minutes. Let cool5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
- Make the icing: Put the remaining 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl; stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice, a little at a time, until the icing is spreadable. Spread on the cookies and top with crystallized ginger; let set 30 minutes.

[email protected]I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of lemon and ginger in a cookie. It sounds like it could be either really good or really bad.

[email protected]I've never had lemon-ginger wafers before, but they sound intriguing. I might have to give this recipe a try.

[email protected]These wafers look delicious! I'm definitely going to try making them this weekend.
Joewillie Parker
[email protected]I was really excited to try these wafers, but I was disappointed. The lemon flavor was too strong for me, and the ginger was barely noticeable. I think I'll stick to my old lemon cookie recipe.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of lemon-flavored desserts, but these wafers were surprisingly good. The ginger really mellows out the lemon flavor, and the cookies are perfectly crispy. I'd definitely make these again.

[email protected]Just made these wafers and they are delicious! The lemon and ginger flavors are perfectly balanced, and the cookies are the perfect texture - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

[email protected]These lemon-ginger wafers are absolutely divine! The zesty flavor of the lemon pairs perfectly with the warming spice of the ginger, creating a cookie that is both refreshing and comforting. The wafers are crispy on the outside and chewy on the insid
