Ginger Turmeric Cookie

A little warmth from the turmeric and a little bite from the ginger. This cookie is soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. Sweetened with a little honey. Brightness from the lemon juice and zest.

A dessert you didn't know you needed - Ginger Turmeric Cookie

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good ginger and turmeric combo. Ginger Turmeric Cookie, I am here for you and staying! It is like no other cookie. It is sweet, rich and decadent. The outside of the cookie has a little crunch while the inside is soft. You get a little bite from the ginger, subtle heat from the ginger and turmeric.

Honest review – I had a taste tester eat the cookie. Politely she stated the cookie is good, but not for her. By the end of the night, she had 2 cookies (maybe more 😉 but we won’t tell anyone.) This cookie will surprise you.
