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.

    Can substitute crystallized ginger for ginger chips, and turbinado sugar or granulated sugar for Demerara sugar.

    One of the best cookies I've made. I use treacle instead of molasses, works great.

    Definitely a cookie for ginger lovers - mine were spicy-hot from all the ginger! I baked mine for the lower end of the range of suggested times and the texture was super - moist and chewy. I used blackstrap molasses, though the recipe advises against it, because I had it on hand and the flavor was still great. Although I love ginger, I might try the less-ginger variation next time (though it'll be interesting to see how the flavor changes during storage). I think my all time favorite molasses-spice cookie recipe is still Cook's Illustrated's Soft and Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies - they're even richer (more butter!) and ginger is just one of several spices vs. the primary flavor.

    Best ginger cookies ever! The triple ginger packs a punch, just perfect. I like the option of baking them soft or crisp -with a snap. No mixer, the use of melted butter make assembly a “snap”. I’ve made these many times, always a favorite.
