I like these cookies so much that the first time I made them I gave most of them to the neighbors to stop myself from eating more than is a good idea.
I am a huge fan of ginger in all forms and uses, fresh, ground, pickled, candied, sweet and savory. If you also think ginger is delicious, you should bake these cookies.
The bitterness of dark chocolate would clash with the ginger. The mellowness of milk chocolate complements the ginger beautifully.
