Reviews
These are delicious and so easy. Don’t skip the fresh lemon zest or ginger as key. Based on other reviews I creamed the butter and sugar for 5 minutes. Also, while first batch cooking I put dough in the refrigerator. Space your batter as they do spread a little. Thinner cookie. Yum!
One of my favorite cookies
These are great. The first time I made these I followed the recipe exactly and they spread quite a bit. Now I cream the butter and sugars for at least five minutes and they don’t spread out as much. The ginger and lemon zest nicely balance the sweetness of the sugars so they’re not too sweet. It’s now one of my go-to recipes for cookies.
These are delicious and really simple to make. I substituted 1/2 tbsp 1/4” c/s organic dried chopped ginger root from starwest for the fresh ginger.
They are fantastic
I don’t know why I was apprehensive about this combination of flavors… bc these cookies are SO GOOD. They have just enough spice, tartness, sweetness and texture.
These cookies were AMAZING! I rarely post a review, but I want everyone to know how fabulous these are. I followed the recipe exactly, cooled the dough prior to baking, and baked at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
We love this cookie recipe! Followed recipe as written, and refrigerated dough one hour before baking cookies.
Absolutely delicious and a favorite in my household!
Yummy!! I made 2 batches and they turned out perfect!! Thankyou for an amazing recipe!
