These sound wonderful.

I am addicted to a Trader Joe's cookie called something like "Triple
Gingersnaps". They are about the size of a US quarter and contain
ground, grated fresh, and candied ginger. They are sold in plastic
tubs (not as large as a few years ago) usually over the freezer compartment.

Unfortunately he closest TJ to me is ~500 miles away so I'd like to find
a recipe to reproduce their cookies. I'll try yours.

Thanks!
