Moxie's Crystallized Ginger Cookies Recipe

Indulge in the irresistible warmth of Moxie's Crystallized Ginger Cookies! This treasured recipe, rescued from a culinary adoption drive, features a delightful blend of spicy candied ginger and nutty sesame oil. Inspired by a candied ginger bag, these cookies are elevated with the addition of sesame oil for a unique flavor depth. We recommend using Evelyn/Athens' #140699 candied ginger for the best results (absolutely delicious!). For an even more budget-friendly option, check out the Asian foods section of your local supermarket for bags of candied ginger – often much cheaper than the spice aisle. Prepare to be amazed by the perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and a subtle nutty aroma in every bite. Prep time includes an hour of chilling for perfectly crisp cookies. A perfect treat for the holidays or any special occasion!
