- I thought these
delicous cookies would be a greatadd for Christmas. To me, the ingredients and the cookies just say, “Merry Christmas”. I actually found this recipe on a recipe blog called “Fake Ginger”. I haven’t touched it. One of my pet peeves is people who change recipes before they even try them as written! Ok, wait, let me change that! One of my pet peeves is people who are proud to tell you and the rest of the world that they changed the recipe before they even tried it as written! The truth is, you’re not helping. If you changed the recipe that you’re reviewing then it’s not the recipe you’re reviewing… it’s yourmodifed recipe that you’re reviewing!!! Stick to the script, stay in your lane, whatever you want to call it! If you change the recipe, you can’t honestly review the original recipe because you didn’t make it! Nuff said! 🙂
