These ginger cookies (or "gingies") are my mom's favorites!

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how long these store for? I'm planning on making them for Christmas.
Thanks
I would say they're good up to a week, but they are the best within the 1st 2 days.
ReplyDeleteHi, are these cookies chewy or crispy?
ReplyDeleteI would say they are more chewy than crispy.
