World's Best Ginger Cookies

.................................................................

I loooove ginger cookies!!!!! I found these two World's Best recipes, to have an unofficial contest of sorts. (You win both ways because you get to eat some of the World's Best ginger cookies... :)

You can try them and decide if you think they're indeed the World's Best, and leave your comments if you like! And remember, you can always add more ginger. I usually do!

Ginger is revered, and considered a natural medicine by many cultures in the Far East, a remedy for tummy aches, it is also warming and increases circulation, as well as being considered an aphrodisiac.

Enjoy ~ !!
