I helped my wife make these for a fundraiser we were having. The first set of cookies needed something else done with them to make them sellable. I chopped up some crystalized ginger and added to the mix with a few dashes of allspice and a squeeze of fresh ginger root. That did make a big difference but I doubt we will try this recipe again.
