These are aptly named…Crisps. They are delightful lil bites of chocolately crispness with just a hint of ginger. This recipe for Cocoa Ginger Crisps<\/a>\u00a0from Chocolate Chocolate and More<\/a> caught my eye when it came through my FB feed because they contained Ginger and since\u00a0I like just about anything with ginger I thought I would give these a try. I will probably add a lil more ginger the next time I make them, because there WILL be a next time, as I couldn’t really taste the ginger at all.\u00a0They were super easy to make and I found that I did not have to let the dough rest in the fridge before scooping out with my lil Pampered Chef scoop. However, \u00a0I already had bread dough on the go, so once I had rolled each individual cookie in the cocoa\/sugar mixture I did place them in a sealed container in the fridge to bake after the bread came out of the oven.<\/p>\n

I am experimenting with Egg-less baking because I often bring \u00a0tasty lil treats to a school that I work at and one of the students has an egg allergy. I found this recipe worked very well with Egg Replacer. I didn’t want to use Chia Seeds as an Egg Replacement because I find the Chia Seeds don’t break down very well; though now that I think about it, the extra texture would not have hurt these cookies. \u00a0I will have to give that a go next time. I should also note that I did not have light corn syrup in the pantry but DID have dark corn syrup…easily subbed in the dark for the light…and as I am typing this it just occurred to me that I will also replace 2 Tablespoons of the corn syrup with Molasses next time to try to achieve that \u00a0Ginger Cookie taste the name of this recipe conjures up in my mind.<\/p>\n
