Cookie Army

Cookie Friday! Sparkled Ginger Cookies

To continue the ginger theme from earlier this week, today I have the recipe for the sparkled ginger cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance. This is hands down my favorite cookbook and I don't know how many times I've made these cookies. They are excellent for shipping out in holiday packages or to eat by yourself with a cup of tea while hovering over your wonky radiator pretending it is a fireplace at your country estate.
