Amen!
I realize it's their way or make my own (hence the dough chilling in my fridge right now) but I would really love if they would change their minds and let me order a dozen naked cookies

How long does it have to chill for?

Grandma calls grandpa and says window is frozen up, won't open.
Grandpa tells her use some warm water slowly.Pore it over, use a small hammer on the corners.It should open.
Grandma calls him back, says it didn't work.Computers really messed up now!

Grandpa insisted on making love in the dark for forty years.That's how they did it. One night grandma turned the lights on and caught grandpa with a vibrator. She yelled you in potent b******.Explain to me why you're using a vibrator. Grandpa said sure as soon as you explained to me about the kids!

I think most times it's about 20-30 min.
Let's the butter harden up again.
The cookies don't spread out at much.
They won't be as thin and crispy either.
I like a crispy outside but soft insode thicker ginger cookie.
Thin rolled gingerbread men/women/ninjas are fine but I prefer mine just like the bakery in town makes - just without all the frosting

In this instance, the dough will wait until tomorrow. I'm tired and still have more chores to finish. Was just convenient to mix the dough since I was already cleaning and slicing ginger. I grated and squeezed the rest of that piece for the dough.
*spicy cookies*

Your going to make them tomorrow?

 

[likes2watchU]

Your going to make them tomorrow?

I decided on a test batch...
I made 8 cookies and still have a little more than half the dough left. I like smaller cookies.
I'll tweak the size and cooking time a bit but these are yummy.
Slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy insice... and a pleasant taste of ginger that keeps increasing and building even after the cookie is gone.
Did I mention I added more dry ginger, too?
They look flat as a pancake because the photo was taken from above, but they're thicker than they look.
I took a side view with a mustard and ketchup packet for scale.

Still not @Wonderer67 level busy I don't think
Sweet Dreams...

I just had Lemon Ginger Tea.

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you are soon feeling better.

 

[nipplecaresser]

I had a Bigelow matcha green tea. Yummy!

Why would you put Frosting on a Ginger cookie??

To mask the taste of the ginger!

Extra ginger for me, please!

 

[MuffandNonsense]

I'm going to make fresh ginger tea from real ginger root in a minute... then heat up some homemade mushroom soup from my freezer.
Comfort food day

While my ginger is out, I'll grate some extra to add to ginger cookies. Add a little extra zing to the dough.

I love Ginger Tea with honey and lemon. Sometimes I add turmeric.

 

[MuffandNonsense]

Breakfast today will be Hot Bananas: pan fried with butter, honey and caramel sauce!
On toast.
Bacon is an optional extra!
Great way to start the day before two hours of pickleball, followed by two hours of padel.

When young, I loved it now older, I hate it. Hang in there!

I love it if I don't have to drive in it!

Dateline: Asbury park

Fun night of drinkin and rockin and rollin. Rolled into town and hit the WonderBar for amry/navy. The staff were great… they normally kick people out at 6 for the 7pm show. But I was wearing my first cav hat and the waiter and bartender recognized it. Bartender was Air Force vet. They let us stay and watch the football game. Two bars came on and did sound check - both good.

Then we moseyed to the Stone Pony. Jesse Malin fuckin brought it. His band is so good. Imagine Americana music with a few dashes of punk rock sensibilities. He was stricken w a rare spinal stroke and can no longer use his legs. He is able to stand and sit but can’t walk. They literally carried him on and off the stage.

He’s a helluva songwriter and story teller.

Met a bunch of lovely people. Drank too much.

Hungover.

Sounds like a wonderful night!

Everyone seems to be in a deep freeze this morning except our friends in FL. Stay warm, watch YouTube on how ancients used to stay warm and be thankful for thermostat . View attachment 2583446

It was a decent day here today. In the 50s and no rain til tonight. My friend and I braved the mall for some shopping.

 

[Lilianna23]
