Ginger is a flavour so associated with cookies that sometimes it is forgotten for cake. In this recipe, you get to enjoy ginger to the max, with ground, fresh and crystallised ginger all packing a punch in the batter.
The candy cane recipe was published in the STAR WEEKLY newspaper in 1957. Grammie Fryer made them first, then I did them too. The cookies are not hard to make, but they do take time. I love the almond flavour. - Mary LeChasseur
