Fun in Allison’s Kitchen

Last week Allison and I had some fun in the kitchen making a special batch of gourmet cookies for Allison’s father-in-law’s birthday. She called them “Stephen’s Special Ginger Cookies,” so I initially thought we were making something like gingerbread or gingersnaps. But no, these cookies were like nothing I’ve ever had and they were outstanding! Imagine vanilla cookies (think chocolate chip cookies minus the chocolate chips) but as part of the wet ingredients we added several tablespoons of fresh ginger juice. Allison custom-made these sweet, spicy and delicious cookies just for Stephen and I’ll bet he’s enjoying them right now. Although it can sometimes be hard to find perfect gifts for people we love, I have to say, it’s hard to go wrong with gourmet cookies!

Question: If you could have your own custom-flavor, what would your request be?
