Big Soft Ginger Cookies says it all. I decided to dip them in white chocolate after they cooled. They are wonderful. I will be adding them to my Christmas Cookies this year. Very Pretty

Easy and delicious. I rolled mine in raw sugar and it made them look nice and gave them a little sugary crunch.

Delicious. Would definitely make again!! I added raisins, about 1/2 cup and reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup. Worked very well.
