"This fantastic cookie was in the Holiday 2003 edition of the LCBO's Food & Drink Magazine. The cookie has a lot of ginger flavour thanks to the crystallized ginger and is slightly chewy in texture. You can make it more crispy by increasing the flour to 2 cups from 1 3/4 cups called for in this recipe."

Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and baking soda. Stir into batter

Step 5

Stir in crystallized ginger. (The batter will be thick)

Place granulated sugar on a plate, roll cought into 1-inch (2.5-cm) balls and dip balls into sugar.

Step 7

Place balls, sugar-side up, on cookie sheet about 3-inches (8-cm) apart, as the cookies tend to spread when baking. (Keep dough in fridge between batches)

Absolutely delicious -- I love these cookies. A little crunchy on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. Love the addition of the crystallized ginger. Definitely a cookie recipe that I will treasure.
