There is something that I absolutely love about the addition of ginger into recipes. Spicy, and sweet, it adds a surprising zing to deserts. So I consulted the goddess, Barefoot Contessa. I watched this episode on food network a few months back, and I loved how she added candied ginger to these traditional cookies; the woman is a genius. I always love ginger snaps with their crispy and golden goodness, but this recipe was unique with its soft and chewy bite. Easy to prepare and quick to disappear, I’m sure that these cookies will be completely worth the three weeks I’ve spent suppressing my addiction.

Ginger Cookies
I have a cookie weakness. With prom this weekend, I’ve spent weeks trying to maintain this system of eating only lean proteins, raw fruits and vegetables, with as little sweets and carbs as possible. As you can imagine by the fact that I have a blog dedicated solely to sweets, it has been hard. But I’m about to crack, and these cookies are about to break my fast.
