Refrigerator cookies are made of
cookie dough that is shaped into logs, chilled until firm, and sliced before
baking. The great thing about them is that you can keep the unbaked logs from days to weeks in your refrigerator and even months in your freezer. Then just slice and bake when you need them.
I accidentally created this
ginger thins recipe when, making a regular batch of refrigerator cookies, I mistook a jar of dried instant salabat (
ginger tea) for
brown sugar! Realizing my error before I mixed all the powdered ginger into the dough, I removed as much as I could and proceeded with the recipe. The result was a cookie with a spicy flavor, just like
gingersnaps! If you like gingersnaps, you'll love this.
