Apologies :) - bjcotton - 03-15-2009 Whenever any of you have discovered you were out of "something" I've always chortled and teased you about it. Well, today I was going to make Triple Ginger Cookies and discovered that I only had 1/2 tsp of ground ginger and it dated from 1988. I was horrified, I never keep any spice more than a year at the outside. I rushed down to the store to get some fresh stuff and tossed that old (read ancient) odorless stuff in the trash. Somebody MUST have come in and stole my fresh ground ginger * Exported from MasterCook * Triple the Ginger Cookies Recipe By :Laria Tabul - Allrecipes Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : A List Cakes-Pies-Cookies-Tarts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3/4 cup butter 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup molasses 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth.

Don't feel too bad sweetie - I think I'm out of ancho chile powder, have to go search the freezer today. Re: Apologies :) - bjcotton - 03-18-2009 I made the batter for the cookies yesterday and baked them off today. I was kind of disappointed. The ginger flavor was there, but not extra gingery, and they said to bake them at 350°F for 10 minutes...they weren't done in the middle, so I baked them an extra 3 minutes and they still weren't quite done. I was looking for a "knock-your-socks-off" ginger flavor. Oh well, they're still good. Re: Apologies :) - labradors - 03-18-2009 That settles it. With all this talk about ginger, and the ginger I've been using in other things, lately, it's time for me to make some more ginger ale again! Re: Apologies :) - bjcotton - 03-19-2009 I love homemade Ginger Ale...there was a company over at Florence, Oregon that was making "Free Willie" ginger ale when we did a fair there. It was $6.00 a six pack and I bought a case. They used honey in it and it was superb...they're out of business now. Re: Apologies :) - labradors - 03-19-2009 Sorry to hear they're out of business. I just use a recipe I found on the Web. What I like about this one is the relatively small amount of yeast it uses. There were two main problems with most of the other recipes I had seen before deciding to use this one:
Well, it's time to make some more, so I'll probably get to that on the weekend. |
