soft & chewy ginger cookies

I have 3 wishes. First is that I get to be Ginger when we play Gilligan's Island (Lisa's so Mary Ann and our brother is Thurston Howell, III). Second is the invention of a cookie that fights off colds. Third is that Lisa recreate Starbucks' moist, chewy ginger cookies I drop a fortune on daily. So lucky, all my wishes have been granted. These classic Ginger Cookies are pure gingery greatness - soft and chewy, like gingersnaps without the snap.

 

easy sugar cookies

Calling all Pollock, Rothko and Mondrian wannabes: here’s your chance to unleash your subconscious. Lisa, your artistic enabler, supplies the ideal canvas – a sweet, soft-centered, sugar cookie. You can cut, shape, drizzle, dip, ice and sprinkle to your heart’s content or just be very “less is more” about it and let the buttery cookie shine au naturel.

 

chunky white chocolate cranberry cookies

“Bite Me” began with this recipe after I bought a cranberry and white chocolate cookie from a local bakery years ago. I ate it, bought a dozen more, drove directly to Lisa’s house and thrust the package at her. “Make these,” I insisted. She sniffed them, did her little rabbit nibbles, closed her eyes, inhaled and said, “No prob.” She made them. And then she created an irresistible cookie that far surpassed any we have ever eaten.
