I feel like there are gonna be two camps of people when it comes to these cookies…and you’ve probably already made your decision based solely on the title. You’re either going 1)I’m intrigued, or 2) GROSS!
I hope you’re in camp one, or you’ll be missing out on my new favorite cookie.
Over the weekend I found myself in the mood to make cookies. I’ve been craving ginger cookies for a while now, but when I asked the hubby what he wanted, he responds the same way he always does. He wanted Cranberry Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.
I decided to compromise. I had a recipe for ginger cookies that I made over Christmas break, but I wanted to find a chewier recipe. I knew that meant adding some sugar and butter but oh well 🙂
After some googling, I found this recipe and made just a few tweaks.

You are crazy girl!!! I love the flavour combination – any kind of ginger cookie is my friend 🙂
Weirdest combo would probably be…err….. apparently i don’t EVER make weird combos, How boring am i???? 😛
I love your compromise. I don’t know if I would think to put those together, but I’m wanting to try it now. How can you go wrong with those great flavors? Sweet, salty, spicy. . . I need to try this out. 🙂
Pretty placemat! I really need to get some cute ones.
I would never think to put these things together, but I’m an equal opportunity eater 🙂 I would love to try them!
I have a recipe for oatmeal cookies that have spinach and carrot juice in them. Ha! They’re great for breakfast though!
Great cookie recipe and I love the measuring cup!
It sounds good… except the ginger. haha. I remember when you got all those Reece’s though, so I am impressed at how you’re working them into things. 🙂
i’m scared, intrigued, and hungry all at the same time! =)
I’m in camp 1!! Yum!!
I’m intrigued for sure, by both the recipe and by the fact the brown sugar isn’t supposed to be packed – I’ve never seen that before! Yum!
