CANDIED GINGER - CARDAMOM BARS
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.

- Use unsalted butter in the shortbread crust to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Chill the shortbread dough before baking to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Sprinkle the cardamom evenly over the shortbread crust before adding the filling.
