Spiced up ginger cookies
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) ground ginger
2 tsp (10 mL) baking soda
1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each ground cardamom and black pepper
1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
2/3 cup (150 mL) vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup (50 mL) fancy molasses
1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped candied ginger



Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a medium bowl, using a fork, stir flour with ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper until combined. Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat sugar with oil until combined. Beat in egg, then molasses. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in candied ginger until evenly distributed.
Form cookies into 1-inch (2.5-cm) balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake in centre of preheated oven until they look set, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven and leave on baking sheet 1 minute. Remove to a rack to cool completely.

Mine is Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Follow your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, just cut out half the amount of chocolate chips it calls for and add in diced up cranberries instead and put a half cranberry on top if desired. Bake as usual. After cookies have cooled, drizzle with chocolate.

For the not so sweet cookie lover.

Green cookies are good, I think you make them with peanut butter, like peanut butter cookies, or maybe like a sugar cookie, only substituting flour for leaf/shake/bud. Wouldn't want them mixed in with chocolate chips & cranberries, ohhh nooo they are for after the cookies.
