Farmers Market Candied Ginger Cookies

The farmers market ginger root was sold only by the pint-but knowing it was local, I snatched it up and placed in the freezer like I do with the store bought ginger.  That lot would have made a few years worth of stir fry!

When I saw the recipe in Fine Cooking for crystallized ginger-I had to try it! My house was filled with the sweet smell of Christmas while the root simmered.  (In fact, I awoke to that aromatic fragrance the next morning!)

I love molasses and ginger cookies.  Since I did not pinch on the sugar in the candied ginger, I cut back on the added sugars in the cookie recipe-in the brown sugar dough and in the sugar to roll the dough balls in.  I eliminated the caramel-like filling for the "thumbprint" and used dates, apricots and almonds instead.  Bobs' co-workers said they couldn't stop eating them!
