Auntie's Guest Appearance: Baking Secrets and Family Memories

Hello There!

I am thrilled to share this little surprise with you! In case you didn't know I have a podcast. You can find me at anchor.fm/cookitfor2 and on Spotify. That’s not the surprise!

This is: A few weeks ago I had a very special guest on my podcast. It was my Aunt Martha! We had a great time talking about cooking and baking for two! She shared one of her favorite recipes with me and now I am sharing it with you. She shared her famous Ginger Cookie Recipe! Be sure and go check it out!

Momo’s Chewy Crispy Ginger Cookies

Mouth Watering!

Ginger cookies are a classic treat that has been enjoyed for generations. Made with a blend of warm spices and molasses, these cookies burst with flavor and are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're baking for a holiday party or just looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea, ginger cookies are sure to hit the spot.

But what makes a great ginger cookie? It's all in the ingredients and the technique. Using quality spices like cinnamon and ginger, along with high-quality molasses, will help ensure that your cookies have the perfect flavor profile. And when it comes to technique, it's all about getting the texture just right. Ginger cookies should be crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside, with just enough snap.

One of the best things about ginger cookies is their versatility. You can enjoy them plain, dip them in milk, or even use them as a base for a decadent ice cream sandwich.

My favorite thing about ginger cookies is the memories they evoke. For many of us, the scent of warm spices and molasses baking in the oven brings back memories of childhood, holidays spent with loved ones and the simple joys of life. Biting into a ginger cookie is like taking a trip down memory lane, and there's nothing quite like it.

So whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, give ginger cookies a try. With their classic flavor and comforting aroma, they're sure to become a staple in your recipe collection.

Thank you so much Martha for sharing a piece of your kitchen with us!

Lord Bless You, Michelle
