You may say this is cheating. But these came out SO good with a sharp lemony taste and just enough sweet and a brilliant little bite at the end. I'll definitely make them again. I might actually use more ginger next time. If I'd had the shredded ginger, I would've used that.
Lemon Ginger Cookies
1 box lemon cake mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
zest of 1 lemon, minced
1 tsp ground fresh ginger (I get it from a jar -- SpiceWorld)
1/4 cup candied ginger
Preheat oven to 325. Stir together first five ingredients. Stir in candied ginger. Drop by teaspoonfuls (small scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 8 minutes. If you use a medium scoop, bake for roughly 15 minutes.
If you want to add a fancy finish, frost with a dollop of vanilla frosting just before serving.
