Ginger Pennies ( Rose Levy Beranbaum) image

From Beranbaum's 'Rose's Christmas Cookies' book, this makes a TON of tiny ginger cookies! Great for holiday parties and open houses. I'd made these as part of a cookie tray for our holiday house tour supporting the historic district in which I live. It takes a while to pipe out all the cookies, but you can get LOTS on one sheet. They last for months in an airtight container - I had mine in plastic zip bags. Times are estimates. Makes at LEAST 25 dozen tiny chip-like cookies.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. Maybe I overbaked them?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. Not sure what went wrong.

These ginger cookies are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, and the texture is chewy and soft. I love the addition of crystallized ginger, which gives them a unique and delicious flavor.
