This morning, we woke up to a clear blue sky and crisp cool air. It’s official! Fall arrived today and nothing says Fall like pumpkin!!! I look forward to everything Fall and most importantly, pumpkin. What began as a recipe for cake, this batter evolved into muffins, […]

September is finally here and we’re on the verge of the cool crisp days of Autumn. It is hard to imagine anything but hot and dry, (with the continued 100 degree weather) but let’s do our best and try. I don’t want to rush things, but Fall is my favorite time of year. The smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger make me think of apples, wearing sweaters, and carving pumpkins. (Is that weird?) Although that’s some time away, (the sweater part) we can hope, can’t we?? 
My friend Elizabeth brought these cookies into work and caused a frenzy with the cookie monsters, we love cookies. They pack a punch with the tiny bits of crystallized ginger, and dark brown molasses. These little morsels have that “crunchewy” thing going on! They have a moist cake-like center but the ginger snap crunch on the outside. Delicious with your morning coffee or an ice cold glass of milk, they are definitely a winner.
Look closely, can you see those little chewy bits of crystallized ginger? Pure Awesomeness! Thank you Elizabeth for sharing this recipe!
