Do the chocolate chips go in whole? So it’s more of a chocolate chip chocolate ginger cookie?
Crosby Molasses
Correct, Claire, the chocolate chips go in whole
Brenda Chouinard
can you use ginger powder instead of real ginger…….Thanks they sound good.
Crosby Molasses
Dear Brenda, Yes, you can omit the fresh ginger and up the dry ginger a bit (I’d add an extra 1/4 or 1/2 tsp.)
Amanda Sinfield
Are they are chewy ginger cookie?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Amanda, Yes, they have a chewiness to them is you’re careful not to cook them to long. But they’re not as chewy as many other’s on our site.
wendy
Yes they are chewy and very rich.
Connie Whalen
Really roll in soda and sugar?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Connie, Thanks for pointing out the error….the sugar should have been listed as an ingredient below the baking soda. I have updated the page.
