I love the warm, spicy flavor of gingerbread. This recipe is intensified by using two forms of ginger – ground and crystallized. This is a nice dessert or great for holiday mornings with a cup of strong coffee.

  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Molasses
  • 1/2 Cup Minced Crystallized Ginger
