Preparation
Step 1
1. Combine first 5 ingredients (through crystallized ginger) in a bowl.
2. Beat next 4 ingredients (through brown sugar) with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add dry ingredients; mix until just blended. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350°. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
