It is time for this month’s Fill the Cookie Jar post! This month’s theme is fall, and nothing says fall to me like spice, so I made these soft ginger cookies. They are so delicious that I can’t stay out of them! My whole house smelled like fall despite the 90 degree weather outside – now if I can only get that to cooperate… And, they are really easy, especially if you have a cookie scoop. I didn’t even roll them into balls, I just scooped directly into the bowl of rolling sugar, rolled it around and put it on the cookie sheet. Using a scoop also insures that they will be fairly uniform in size. Tastes like fall! Hope you enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Jura mine don’t usually look this nice either. I think they are just bake up nicer than most.
These certainly have the flavors of fall. The look delicious. I’m adding this to my holiday cookie list.

They look great. I bet the taste similar to gingersnaps but don’t have to worry about them just about breaking your teeth.
