Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Very good flavor with a soft, chewy texture. I only had about 2/3 of the molasses and supplemented with treacle. My cookies took around 14 min to bake.

    As ginger cookie lovers, we think these are great. I love the addition of the black pepper with all the other warm spices and I did add the end of a package of chopped candied ginger (a favourite of ours in cookies). Note that the dough requires "a few hours" in the fridge before proceeding.
