And I don't care, I'm adding more than ⅓ cup of chocolate next time, too! Some of the candied ginger clumped together; I'll have to make sure they're broken apart. Lastly, the original recipe had several different options for baking the cookies. I will definitely chill them first, because I like fatter cookies.
