Excellent, I use the American ginger, but I found Thai ginger. I will use it the next time with guess as part of my dessert plus ice cream.

WARNING: these cookies do not take 20 minutes to bake!! Check at 10 minutes! This is a very good ginger cookie...nice and soft and flavorful. However, I am not crazy about the candied ginger, and I still prefer my standard gingersnap recipe, so I don't think I'll be repeating this one. But if you're looking for a good cookie, you won't be disappointed.

the flavour of these was great but they hardened up quite a bit for me. They were still nice esp. if dunked into hot tea, but I would have preferred them to stay softer. Anyway, they are nice and gingery but if you are a fan of ginger (like me) you could definitely up the amount of ginger (especially the crystallized or powdered).

This is an incrediable recipe! If you really like ginger, don't be afraid to double or even triple the amount of fresh and crystallized ginger. It's been a hit every time I've made it! If you find the ginger too much, try using younger ginger root. It's not as potent as the regular stuff.

I hate to cast a negative vote among all the five-star ratings, but I thought the crystallized ginger in this recipe was too much! I like ginger, but biting into a small chunk of crystallized ginger gives the kind of hot sensation you get from eating Thai food--not exactly what I'm looking for in a cookie. Homemade treats usually disappear quickly at my office, but I couldn't find any takers for these overwhelming cookies. If I were to make these again, I'd definitely omit the crystallized ginger.

Apart from leaving the dough (I left it overnight), these are really easy to make. I loved the chewy texture and will definitely make these again, though I would not bother with the fresh ginger, I'd just use more crystallised ginger. Excellent!

Dee-lish-us!!!The prep isn't bad for such a great product. I even rolled to cookie balls in turbinado sugar before baking (makes a great sweet crunch).

These are fantastic!!! To make chopping the crystallized ginger easier, I used my mini prep food processor--did a beautiful job in just a fraction of the time. Will make again and again.

Whoo-ee!!! Yep, for ginger cookies, these go to the top of the list; HOWEVER, don't worry about chopping the crystalized too fine. I'm leaving the chunks bigger next time...maybe choc.chip size.

These are wicked good and gingery. Mix them in the evening and bake them in the morning. Won't seem to take so long and the dough is easier to handle. PS: This recipe was in a "Silver Palate" cookbook from the 80s that I thought I'd lost forever. So glad to find it again!!

These cookies are terrific! and contrary to the description are not difficult to make. My son likes them, but I think the strong ginger flavor might not appeal to most children.
