Delicious cookies. The cookies themselves are not too sweet, so the contrast with the sugar on the outside is really nice. The ginger flavor really comes through. Very good. The flavor reminds me of something from my childhood, but I just can place it. Oh well, great cookies. Made for PAC Spring 2009, I adopted this chef as my "baby".
