Gorgeously spiced gingerbread cookies sweetened with brown sugar and molasses so they have a little bit of a chew to them. Delicious. You’ll definitely have trouble stopping at one!
Fresh from the oven, I kind of wanted to call these Ginger Chocolate Cookies, but once cooled, the chocolatey flavor started to shine and the wonderful warmth and chewiness from the molasses came out, so I guess we’ll go with the author’s original name for them: Chocolate Molasses Cookies! Whatever you call them, they’re scrumptious, bold in flavor and perfect for holiday cookie gifting - if you can bear to give them away!
With their soft and pillowy texture and warm yet vibrant flavors, these Gingerbread Cinnamon Buns are made for cozy fall mornings.
I love the toasty crunch of pecans and the slight, sweet heat from the mix of warm, fall spices and crystalized ginger in this pumpkin bread. I put together this recipe in an attempt to recreate the one my mom used to make. Somehow we’d never see her making her amazing pumpkin bread, but it would magically appear on fall weekend mornings, beautifully spiced, lightly sweet, and just on the right side of moist. I still like mine for breakfast, spread with a little cream cheese with a strong cup of coffee.
My Apricot Pistachio no-churn ice cream is more of a grown up frozen custard – not too sweet, with a hint of spicy heat from candied ginger. Juices from the apricots are whipped in to the base, then it’s swirled with loads of buttery pistachios and chopped fresh apricots so there’s a bountiful mix of flavors in every creamy spoonful.
Here’s a perfectly sized little Apricot Ginger Upside Down Cake designed for those days when you have cake cravings but don’t want to end up with a bunch of leftovers staring at you all week. This 6-inch number is crowned with a pinwheel of caramelized apricot slices and hidden diced candied ginger for that surprise bit of sweet heat when you take your first bite. The brown sugar and buttermilk cake has a melt-in-your-mouth texture, and is sweet and tart and spicy and fruity all at once.
