Great cookies but too much sugar/salt in this recipe. If you are going to take out the candied ginger, then you need to cut the salt for sure. I cut half the shortening, half the sugar, and half the salt. Then I grated in a tbsp or 2 of fresh ginger instead of a cup of candied. Really good cookies!

This was extremely easy to make and gets a 10/10 for taste. I made it with only half the sugar because the natural fruit sugars plus the cool whip are so sweet... it really probably doesn't need any refined sugar if you want to try healthier.
