They sound perfect for the cold season!
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Authentic preparation ! Perfect for the cold months :)
How many grams of preserved ginger? I can't get "whole ginger" where I live.... And is preserved ginger the same as candied ginger?
Thank you!
Hi KBossmann
you can add more or less candied ginger, candied ginger will be fine,1 piece is less then 1 inch, hope this helps.
I am not too much of a ginger person but the chocolate orange cookies look very delicious! :)
