Dish Review, Moravian Ginger Cookies (Betty Crocker’s Version)

Dish Review, Moravian Ginger Cookies (Betty Crocker’s Version)

I’ve mentioned what cookbook I’m using in one of the first dish reviews done.  Now, we’re going over a type of Christmas cookie- Moravian ginger cookies.  The dessert resembles quite a feature for undertaking considering sugars and shapes.  In this case, I’ve shaped my cookies like ice cream cones with a special, old-fashioned cookie-cutter and the recipe is really original.  Making the easy icing is a breeze!  All it takes is a combination of cream, milk, and possibly other liquids like half-and-half and just plain old water.  Ginger takes some getting used to for tasting because the ingredients have to combine into a dough that must be chilled for some hours and, even then, management of a rolling pin is an artistic skill in unusual craft.  Desserts are often “unusual” due to time constraints as we go ahead with topping, stirring, and baking over ingredients that aren’t exactly everyday items.  People eat too much sometimes; thing is, heavy consumption can be a sign of missing ingredients in one’s diet since people who eat too much are also eating too little of specific food items.  Indeed, the saying goes- “it’s a treat”- and that mostly refers to people’s desires for cheap, inexpensive food like fast food, white bread, commonplace fruits and so on.  In other words, guys may call something a treat, not because it’s really unhealthy, but because they can’t “afford” healthy food so much.  “It’s a treat”- as a phrase, it’s actually a euphemism used by either poor people or folks with greed for their pockets.  Where was I?  Oh, yes!  Moravian ginger cookies are very good.  We’re not talking about cheap, obvious chocolate chip cookies that have lost flavor and spice a long time years ago; no, we’re mentioning information on a Christmas cookie that speaks for the ages.  (That is, “spirit of the age”.)  Of course, I don’t think this cookie-kind is really practical for most restaurant uses, for, when push comes to shove, restaurants like presenting us with recipes that can easily be performed.  Even a steakhouse tends to provide dishes which can easily be found in my mom’s Betty Crocker cookbook.  For instance, to make garlic butter, you can add garlic to softened butter and refrigerate it.  Moravian ginger cookies, however, would probably fit a bakery with enough time on their hands to poke around with stuff and find out the goodies.  The icing is made with sugar and dairy although I’m forgetting what kind of sugar it was.  There’s different kinds of sugar- with enough kinds of sugar, more recipes like this Christmas one are possible.
