Big Soft Ginger Cookies
What a wonderful surprise to wake up and find that this post has made it to FoodBuzz’s Top 9. It is my first Top 9 and it feels great! So thank you all for buzzing my post to the top 9!
The recipe called for ginger cookies for the crust. Soon after finding the recipe for the cheesecake the latest issue of Country Woman Magazine was in my mail box. And what do you think was in the magazine? Well of course a recipe for Ginger Cookies.
I was very happy with the way the cookies came out. They had a nice ginger flavor and tasted really yummy with a cup of coffee. I made them at the beginning of the week and was lucky that there was enough left to make my crust by Wednesday .

Big soft cookies with a big glass of ice-cold milk. I must say, it's a tie between Swedish Cinnamon Rolls and ice-cold milk.
