civil war ginger spice cookies
(4 ratings)
We've had this recipe for years. I'm not sure where the name "Civil War" came from, except maybe the recipe has been around that long. I used to take these to work and the doctors would gobble them up. They are moist, not hard, and keep for a long time. I think they are a perfect cookie. One note: the original recipe called for lard. I changed it to butter because we don't keep lard in the house. But I know my grandmother did.
