I came up with these cookies by combining ingredients from two recipes. It's the perfect ginger cookie-crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. I send them to my son, and he shares them with his employees. Whenever I ask what kind of cookies to send, these are at the very top of the list. -Judy Wilson, Sun City West, Arizona

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking. This will help the cookies get a nice, sparkly crust.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
