Super Soft Ginger Cookies
One of the most delicious and easiest cookies to make our ginger cookies. It's crispy on the outside but is really soft inside. I really love the soft but some people like them more crispy and they both are really delicious. If like me, you love soft cookies don't hesitate and start making this one.

Tips and tricks
- Turn on the oven at 180C, If you have an electric oven, 165C is enough.
- You can cook the cookies for a couple of more minutes to make them more crispy. But your cookies will be perfectly soft at 10 to 12 minutes.
- I didn't have ginger powder and so I used fresh ginger and you can use them as well.
- You should always let your dough last a least for one hour. You can keep it inside the fridge even for 24 hours but make sure you use a lidded dish and your dough is perfectly covered.
