For a deeper ginger flavor, try using freshly grated ginger in addition to the ground ginger. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Allow the dough to soften slightly before rolling into balls. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. For crispier cookies, bake them for a minute or two longer.

Feb 4, 2025I found that chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helped prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
