The sugar needs to be brown sugar not white to get the colour you require

Should there be molasses or dark brown sugar in the recipe?

Taste and cookie is goo overall but the cook time is too short. Mine was mine on the side of 14 minutes. Much lighter in color.

Has anyone tried making these a bit more diabetic friendly, like with sugar or flour alternatives?
Haven’t tried diabetic friendly version, definitely worth exploring. Please let us know how yours come out if you do try it. Happy baking :)

Can the dough or cookies be frozen to get ahead for a bake sale?

I think ginger was used in the UK since it was brought over during spice trade and or from colonies like say India. I am NOT a historian, I’m making an educated guess here. My Scottish and Irish family always made gingerbread ( cake) and ginger cookies.

I need more ginger flavor! Otherwise I love how they rise!!! Any suggestions!

To you in Salt Lake City, I would add an additional 1 tsp of ginger. You can also, add fresh ginger. I use a fine grater, one used for nutmeg. This would give you plenty of flavor !

Yes, you may freeze the cookie dough. You would have to thaw the dough a bit, prior to baking them. You might try one or two cookies first, then adjust baking times, if needed.

Can I make these with sourdough? What adjustment would I need to do, and how much time should it rest before baking?
