Chewy Gingerbread Cookies (Martha Stewart)

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Martha Stewart's Chewy Gingerbread Cookies includes fall spices and freshly grated ginger. They are, like the name implies, chewy! :)

These cookies contain the yummy ingredients of gingerbread: cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, dark brown sugar and molasses.

The flavors are very fall and gingery. I love ginger so they weren't strong to me, but some people thought they were a bit too gingery (as if that could ever happen! :) It has both ground ginger and fresh ginger.

I rolled them in a combo of granulated sugar and sanding sugar. I just purchased Sugar in the Raw so I want to try that next time.

Find the recipe for these fall and intense cookies here on Martha Stewart's website!

Monica H said... [Reply to comment]: I bought her cookie cookbook a few months ago and I drooled as I turned every page.

I really want to make these becaue their texture looks SO good, but I have to admit, I'm not a fan of ginger. Do you think I could substitute with a different ingredient? Oh, and I LOVE sugar in the raw, especially over fresh strawberries.; November 20, 2008 at 12:47 AM

leslie said... [Reply to comment]: I think the baking soda must be a typo- 2 TABLESPOONS is alot! I used it anyway cuz I thought it had something special to do with the texture, but they really do have a nasty aftertaste. I think they meant 2 teaspoons!; May 16, 2010 at 11:17 AM
