Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Crystallized ginger may vary from brand to brand. Some are chopped into small pieces and tend to be harder. Others are in flat pieces and are more pliable. You can use either form, but be sure to finely chop the ginger so it is incorporated throughout the cookie dough.
  • tip 2
    Make a cute little gift basket for teachers, the mail person or hostess gifts with several of these cookies wrapped up in cellophane and a ribbon, and placed in a basket or container with tea bags and an adorable tea cup.
  • tip 3
    Store these cookies at room temperature in resealable food storage plastic bags or tightly covered containers.
