Candied Ginger - Cardamom Bars image

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.

Overall, I was disappointed with these bars. I don't think I'll be making them again.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who had this problem, but my bars turned out really bland. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I think I'll try following the recipe more carefully next time.

I would have liked these bars more if they had been more moist. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

Overall, I thought these bars were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either.

The texture of these bars was a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a little less time next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

The cardamom in these bars is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll try using less next time.

These bars are the perfect balance of chewy and soft. The candied ginger adds a nice textural contrast.

I'm not usually a fan of candied ginger, but I really enjoyed it in these bars. The cardamom mellows out the sweetness of the ginger perfectly.

I love the subtle warmth of the cardamom in these bars. It really complements the sweetness of the candied ginger.

These candied ginger cardamom bars were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors is unique and delicious, and the texture is perfect - chewy and soft with a slight crunch from the candied ginger.
