Triple ginger snap cookies
Cookies
Normally I am wholeheartedly against crispy cookies. Give me soft and chewy any day. The one exception being gingersnaps. Soft gingersnaps? That's just an oxymoron. They are called gingerSNAPS, not gingerCHEWS, and it follows that they should be snappy. If you want soft, why not try these soft Molasses Snickerdoodles instead? The other thing about gingersnaps is they must taste like ginger; the more the better. Much like my ginger beer obsession, if I can't taste the ginger, they're not even worth eating. That's why these gingersnaps (inspired by Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Cookies) satisfy all my desires: light and crispy, with three spicy kinds of ginger: fresh, ground, and chunks of crystallized ginger speckled throughout. There's no mistaking these for an everyday spice cookie; they are ginger, through and through. I'm dead serious in saying this recipe calls for 2 tablespoons each of ground AND fresh ginger, and a full 1/3 cup of crystallized ginger. So stock up and don't skimp.
