These are my very favorite cookie of all time; even better than chocolate chip. I also make them every Christmas (and every other holiday). Only change I make is to use 2/3 bag of the chips. I made my first batch with the whole bag, and there just wasn't enough dough for all those chips.

I added these to my Christmas cookie repertoire this year, and they were by far the most enjoyed by all.

These were delicious, a great holiday cookie. I halved the recipe but other than that followed it exactly, I really like ginger so I think I will add a little more next time. Thanks!
