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.

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!

I use the lemon glaze & crystallized ginger part of this recipe on my own soft molasses cookie, since we prefer soft cookies, and it has been a huge hit among both kids & adults! I've shared the recipe at least 3 times this holiday season. The mix of flavors is "heaven on earth" as my friend put it,with an elegant presentation. I will continue to make & share this cookie for years to come! Perfect for keeping the cookies pre-made in the freezer and topping them to take to parties & dinner.
