Ginger Spice Cookies

I am particularly fond of ginger. From the time I was little and was given ginger ale to settle my stomach when ill, I liked it. The spiciness of this root adds a zip to any recipe that it is added to and it is truly delicious in so many ways!
My boys were begging for cookies the other day, I had to take a snack to a friend’s house and so I decided to come up with some sort of ginger cookie. Now originally, I was planning to make some thing, crispy cookies, but they didn’t come out right. Regardless, the result was heavenly . . . even my non-cookie fan husband ate about a dozen!
