  There are lots of great cookie recipes out there, but some stand out from the crowd. These brown sugar cookies with ginger are one of the best with their crunchy outside and the chewy center.

This post is especially for my friends that have been following my food adventures from the very beginning but have been diagnosed with Celiac disease.
