Comments on: Who Put Chocolate in My Gingerbread? http://www.foodgal.com/2008/12/who-put-chocolate-in-my-gingerbread/ Musings on food, wine, laughter, and life Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:26:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: foodgal http://www.foodgal.com/2008/12/who-put-chocolate-in-my-gingerbread/comment-page-1/#comment-4179 foodgal Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:26:05 +0000 http://www.foodgal.com/?p=793#comment-4179 Amara: The molasses adds flavor, moistness, and color. So I'm not sure I'd leave it out of the recipe. I also remember reading a quote by a pastry chef who said something to the effect of: "Gingerbread is so marvelous. Why do we have to just eat it in the winter time?" I agree. Why regulate it to only a few months out of the year, when you love it so much. Truly, this cookie recipe is one to enjoy year-round. To make it more summery, you could even make ice cream sandwiches out of 'em. Amara: The molasses adds flavor, moistness, and color. So I’m not sure I’d leave it out of the recipe.

I would totally go for just finding a perfect gingersnap recipe to try and create the mental taste your post conjured up, but I'm giving some to a friend who loves chocolate... I could make ginger snaps and dip them in chocolate, but I like chewy cookies, and those might not ship well in this weather.... Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

Maybe some lemon balm mint. I wonder if they'd be good. And maybe a little more summer palatable. I'm hooked on making a ginger cookie of some sort, but don't want it to be too wintery warming. Think it could work? Playing up the fresh spicy side of ginger?

The cookies will have that added special ingredient in them: a Mom's love. Of course, yours will taste even better. The cookies will have that added special ingredient in them: a Mom’s love.
