great aunt mary's ginger cookies
(1 rating)
My husband's great aunt, Mary Carter, made these cookies for as long as my husband can remember, and made them on a regular basis until she passed away several years ago at the age of 90-something. They are a favorite of the Kellum family. These cookies are soft and *always* perfectly round! I was thrilled when my Aunt Donnie passed the recipe on to me. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family! Ginger Cookies: Not just for Christmas anymore!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Buttery and crisp but slightly chewy, this is one yummy cookie! The flavor combo is a little different than most cookies similar to this. The ginger and cinnamon are so good together. It's a simple recipe, but the best part is the family tradition behind the recipe.
