Ginger Cookies

"Here’s a classic: ginger cookies, quite a bit more chewy than the popular British ginger snaps – these are cookies rather than biscuits. If you use only white sugar they’ll be less chewy. The crystallised ginger can be swapped for preserved stem ginger. Ginger is quite amazing in its versatility, a bit like lemons, you can add it to both sweet and savoury dishes and if in sensible quantities, it’ll improve them. Basic ingredient in Oriental cuisines, you can make ginger into a drink and persuade yourself that it cures cold, especially if you join it with lemon and honey. There is anecdotal evidence that it might relieve pain and nausea. Made in heaven match for duck, enlivens bland vegetables but I do love it best in baking."
