Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more vibrant flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead of 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

These sparkling ginger chip cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a sweet snack or a holiday gift, these cookies are sure to please.
