The Cookie Monster
The Cookie Monster would have been very happy to eat these cookies! I could never understand that big blue furry creature's obsession with cookies, but after making and tasting these treats I definitely understand why. I did not think these treats would live up to the description of spicy because I used so little ingredients. Luckily I was wrong and my extra dose of ginger really packed a punch.
This recipe has been adapted from 'The Best Of Sainsbury's Vegetarian Cooking' (London: Reed Consumer Books Ltd, 1992)

Saffy's Top Tips
1. Use two different types of sugars from a different texture. Try a soft brown sugar and a more rougher granulated sugar. 105g soft brown sugar, 20g granulated brown sugar.
2. Bake for 15 minutes only, otherwise when the cookies cool down they will be too hard.
3. If they do become a little hard, heat them up in the microwave for 20 seconds and drink with warm milk before bed..... Sesame Street taught more than just letters and numbers :)
