Ginger cookies are a sweet treat known for their warm, spicy flavor, derived from ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Commonly associated with European and American holiday traditions, they often contain molasses or brown sugar, giving them their rich color and distinctive taste. Usually made with flour, butter, egg, and sweeteners, traditional recipes include baking soda for a soft texture or additional spices for a kick of heat. While ginger itself is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties and digestive benefits, the cookies tend to be high in sugar and fat, making them a less healthy choice if consumed in excess. Some variations use whole-grain flours or reduced sugar for a slightly healthier profile. These cookies are perfect for seasonal celebrations or paired with tea for a comforting snack, but moderation is key to enjoying them guilt-free!
