These ginger cookies are a year-round family favorite, though the flavors lend themselves particularly well during the Christmas season. The recipe is an old family favorite that came from a neighbor of my grandmother’s. Sharon is the sweetest friend of my grandma’s, and she used to run the best daycare/babysitting service in town. She would cook up gigantic batches of these cookies and keep them in old ice cream containers right by her front door, so that when your parents came to pick you up she could send you out the door with one of these. I don’t know how we got our hands on the recipe, but I’m sure glad we did! Everybody who tries them just loves them!
The half batch is like a regular batch of cookies, and will make around 48 cookies. The gigantic original batch will feed an army. Try freezing them, though. Perfect to toss in school lunches; they will be thawed out and perfectly chewy just in time for lunch!
