Makes 14 big cookies

“I made these and actually forgot to add the ginger. They’re pretty good that way though! I dunno how it would have been if I wouldn’t have forgotten the ginger, but I bet they’re good both ways! I didn’t have parchment paper by the way, but I greased the baking sheet and they came right off afterward.”
