Expert Tips

"It's fun and exciting to take Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix and turn it into something like a ginger cookie."

Crystallized ginger is fresh gingerroot cooked in a candy syrup and coated with coarse sugar. Look for it next to the fresh herbs in your supermarket.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies! I use butter flavored Crisco, double the ginger and I have not had luck with the glaze so I go without. I also roll them in sugar before baking. These are my absolute favorite cookie.....

This is THE BEST ginger cookie ever! I made these over the Christmas holidays and everyone raved about them. I made them again this weekend for my grandmother and needless to say...she only got two. They were gone before I could set some aside for her. I used more lemon than the recipe called for and they were even better. Love, love, love this cookie!
