Ginger Cookies: but no ginger included, really.

Continuation of this earlier post.

When I think of ginger for baking, I think of some old pharmaceutical organic medicine… but my perception changed after trying this. :)

Ginger Cookies do not really have ginger in it. It’s just the aroma the other spices give. The fusion of cinnamon and all the other spices mixed into the cookies give it a kind of an unknown taste, like lost between somewhere familiar and not. 

You can put all the dry ingredient together in one large bowl.

Add the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Roll cookie dough into a ball and cover with powdered sugar. Arrange on cookie sheet at least 1 inch apart and push down the tip of the cookie ball with two fingers until slightly flat but not too flat. 

Wait 12-15 minutes until baked, soft on center but solid on edges.
