Although more crispy than classic gingerbread, the composition of this cookie is almost all the same ingredients that give it a warm, spicy taste, similar to the taste of its soft double. To balance the sweetness of cookies, Alton Brown uses fresh and candied ginger, as well as fragrant ground spice. When you take the cookies out of the oven, lightly “sprinkle” его сахарной посыпкой.
