After spending the day outside, that fall feeling is in the air. Nothing like these cookies at the end of a long day with a hot cup of tea. Your kitchen will smell amazing within 2 minutes ~ promise!
Ingredients:

1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup ( 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark molasses
1 large egg
1/2 cup coarse or raw sugar
3 1/2 oz. (1/2 bag) The Ginger People Crystallized Ginger Chips (other brands don't come close to The Ginger People)

3. In large bowl, mix the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
