Ginger Cookies image

Wrote this recipe down while watching Food Network while recovering from surgery. It was featured in the "Food Network Caters Your Hawaiian Wedding". This was one of Paula Deen's contributions. I love ginger cookies and can't wait until I can get in the kitchen and whip up a batch. They looked SOO good!

I love the fact that these cookies can be made ahead of time. It makes it so easy to have fresh-baked cookies on hand.

These cookies were a hit! They were soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of ginger and molasses. I will definitely be making these again.
