Serving and Tips
- Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool fully. This helps preserve their soft centers.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For extra softness, place a slice of bread in the container — it keeps them moist.
- Half the Recipe: This recipe makes a large batch (perfect for sharing!), but you can easily halve it for smaller gatherings or weeknight baking.
- Extra spice variation: For a bolder flavor, increase the ginger or add a dash of allspice or nutmeg.
