Everyone loves home baked cookies. And they really don’t take much time at all.
You mix the dry.
Chop a little chocolate. This was Green and Blacks dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it.
Throw a couple blobs of cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
And just like that, fresh home baked cookies are served.
Now, I made these cookies while I was on holidays and did the best with the goods we had around. If you are familiar with my recipes- you know they are wonderfully forgiving so try these goodies out with whatever you may have kicking about in your kitch. Let us know how creative you get!

Oh Meghan,
This is great!! I keep being tempted to buy expensive GF snacks when I’m out because I can’t get it together to make stuff at home when I get busy…drained…overworked…rundown…sick….(rinse and repeat).
Thanks for this idea – yum…and more importantly, thanks for making it easy and fast. Hope you’re having lots of laughs in St. Lucia. :o)
Have a sweet day,
Odelia
St. Lucia is mighty sweet! Like a good home baked GF cookie :)
OH my heavens Meghan, these look so awesome! These are bookmarked for when sweetener is back on :)
Oh Meghan you rock!!! These cookies sound amazing. I’ve never thought about mixing ginger in with chocolate!!
I love all cookies, my favorite would be white chocolate cherry or soft ginger! Cant wait to try these.
I made these tonight and they are very gingery! (But good). I didn’t have chocolate chips and have run out of cacao nibs, so I added 2 TBL of cocoa powder. Definitely works! Oh, and I always add love to everything I bake ;-)
Oh. My. Freakin’. Healthy. Goodness!!!
These cookies are Ahhhhh-mazing! Thank you so much for this recipe Meghan. You always continue to inspire me with your creative endeavors in baking & cooking.
I had to sub in what I had in my pantry so used:
– Quinoa & Chickpea flour
– 1 Tbsp ground flax + water, as an egg substitute.
The only downfall to this fabulous dessert is that my spouse ate about 3/4 of the plate within 10 mins of placing it in front of him, all the while through cookie-filled mouthfuls exclaiming how amazing they were. So now I have crumbs on the couch and have to hit the kitchen again to make another batch for the up coming week. Lesson learned: double-batch it and ration portions for the spouse. tee he he.
Thanks again Meghan!

Just made them, but cardamom spice style! i enjoyed the chewy texture. Since i didn’t have ground dried ginger (only used 1tbs of fresh ginger), i decided to sub in freshly ground cardamom pods (i used about 15pods – discarded shell of course) and 1tbs of pumpkin spice. They turned out to taste more like cardamom cookies! DEEEE-LISH. I’ll be sure to make these puppies again this autumn. :)
