These cookies are one of the 3 most popular foods among our group of friends! They are soooooo good (yes, that good) It all started a couple summers ago when my Sister-In-Law came to stay with us for the summer and babysit Miss Charlee so I could get out and get a part time job. While working at this job I met some nice people, but none as nice as Paula. She was that person that made going to work a bit better, and to top it all off she would always bake and bring the most delicious cookies to work. We became good friends and starting hanging out outside of work, still do. :) So this was the summer that I was getting married, and Bestie J threw me a surprise shower. (<3) This surprise shower is where the best ever ginger cookies made their debut to the party world, and the parties would never be the same again! (We recently used them at our cocktail party)
So many people could have this recipe and not even know how delicious it is!! Its the "Quick Ginger Cookies" Recipe out of the Crosby's Molasses Cookbook. They are very quick so it makes this recipe that much better.
