There is something about ginger that settles my stomach when I am car sick or expecting. I eat all of these cookies way to fast. By the way, I ate the cookie that was in the bottom right so that is why it is not pictured.

Intro to me

I cook meals like the next mom but I would say it is out of necessity. I love to eat good food and sit down for a meal but the planning, shopping, fixing, toiling, mess ups, and clean ups all while my children are pulling on me leave me exhausted and regretfully sometimes sorry that I even bothered. I do it all because I prefer home cooking for my taste buds and wallet. What I really like it photographing. So this just gives me one more thing to take photos of!
Madelin and I are planning on teaming up. She will provide the recipe and creation and I will photograph it. It should be awesome because she is a beautiful and scrumptiously awesome culinary artist.
These cookies are the Hillary Clinton Cookies that Loni posted. What a great recipe! I could eat them all day. But honestly, I am inclined to think that Mrs Clinton (God bless her) has never made them. I just can't see her in the kitchen giving them to Chelsea with a glass of milk.
So there you go. That is my intro. You should seriously make these cookies.
