Ginger Cookies
Cooking is a way to connect
My grandma Cook always had cookies, ALWAYS. She normally had assortment available because my grandpa Cook was the original cookie Connoisseur. I Think his favorite was the ginger snaps but there were generally oatmeal raisin, peanut butter and snickerdoodle. Funny I don’t remember chocolate chip but I’m sure they were probably there too.
