Found this recipe in a sunset magazine. I made them for my Christmas packages. I am glad I gave most of them away because otherwise I'd have eaten all of them within hours! Lot's of praise has been received for my baking skills this year from the recipients. Soft texture, spicy flavor and yummy frosting.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more pungent flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cookies a more intense ginger flavor.
- Grate the ginger finely. This will help the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
Frosted ginger cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a few simple tips, you can make frosted ginger cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
