Triple Ginger Cookies

Dec 18, 2010 · Modified: Dec 17, 2021 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 8 Comments

Triple Ginger Cookies were inspired by a very successful batch of vegan gingerbread biscotti. The biscotti got me on a ginger kick and I used similar ingredients to make these cookies.

Triple Ginger Cookies Notes

Unlike hard and crunchy biscotti, these are very light and crisp gingersnaps. And despite having 3 kinds of ginger (powdered, fresh and candied), they are not overly gingery. They have a solid ginger flavor for sure, but it's not overpowering in any way. They also have the nice crackly appearance you expect from ginger cookies.

The original version of Triple Ginger Cookies makes 60 but I halved it and made 30.  Depending on how big you make your cookies, you may get a few more or a few less.

    I have made these for the last 2 years and have added them to my cookie trays that I make. I double the amount of freshly grated ginger and the powdered ginger. I make my own chystalized ginger, so that it is really fresh. They are a great hit!

    A good friend and I went out for dinner this evening and I was just telling her that I thought maybe I should make some ginger cookies next. And, here you are on the same wavelength! Fuzz looks adorable with her cookie. 🙂
