These little cookies will have everyone wandering into the kitchen to see what’s in the oven. Browned butter, fresh ginger, and our date sugar make for a soft, warmly spiced bite that practically asks for a cup of coffee. Bake a batch on a chilly afternoon, and see how long they last once the family finds them.
