These ginger cookies are the best I've ever tried. My daughter can't keep her hands off them. Nice and crunchy on the outside. Chewy sweet savory spice with just the right bite. Love them and will make this my go to recipe for ginger cookies.

These are great. I have made them quite a few times. I make sure everything is room temp. before beginning. I also, each time, forget to buy cardamom, so I go heavy on the other spices(but not the salt).Again,thanks. These are very good.
