It is the season of the ginger and we are all ready! The heat is here, the leaves are changing colors and the spices are starting to kick off the harvest. I am ready to use my new spices to spice up my homemade gingerbread cookie recipe this month.
In the mean time, I can’t resist baking my own gingerbread cookie recipe. The icing is easy, you can whip up a big batch of it in no time, and it tastes great. I have even made some gingerbread muffins and they taste pretty good too.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a taste for gingerbread, but it’s become important to me during the past few years of baking. Most home bakers I know have a ginger cake recipe that they bake for their family Christmas dinner. And it’s not hard to remember that recipe, even if you never cook it.
Well, gingerbread is a recipe, not a cookie, and not even an actual cookie. Like any other recipe, its only as good as the ingredients. The ingredients used in the gingerbread recipe are sugar, eggs, butter, flour, and salt. I’d say that gingerbread probably has more ingredients than a ginger cake, and I’d also say that some of those ingredients are also used in other cookies that are baked and sold in grocery stores.
Ginger is actually a fruit and not a spice in the same way that cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or ginger are. So to me it is easier to remember a recipe that uses ginger than one that uses cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or ginger.
I have to say, I have to agree with Gingerpie that this was a pretty interesting cookie. It’s not as sweet as most gingerbread recipes, but it has a very nice, buttery caramel flavor and a little bit of something that most gingerbread recipes don’t have, which is a bit of cinnamon.
I’m not a big fan of gingerbread cookies, but there is something about the ginger and a graham cracker base that just makes it taste like gingerbread. I think its probably due to the fact that most gingerbread recipes just call for a pinch of cinnamon and a bit of sugar.
Gingerbread is just a little bit of a strange cookie, so I can understand why some people would like it. It doesn’t taste like gingerbread though, because it has a lot of butter, and then the graham cracker base is just kind of a weird combination of crunchy and sweet.
I love it when ginger cookies taste like gingerbread. That makes the cookie even better. It’s like they turned a gingerbread recipe into a ginger cookie.
I’ve got to be honest, I’m in love with gingerbread cookies. Its not because I love the gingerbread flavor. I love the cookies because they’re just really good. I don’t mind that they’re sometimes a bit sweet, and sometimes the graham crackers are a little on the gooey side, but they’re just overall really good.
