I was not a fan at all of Papa Johns’ attempt at whole wheat pizza. Ick, blah, tasteless. But this one works. It was a crunchy outside and chewy inside. The dough bubbled up a bit in the middle while I was baking it without toppings, but it came back down and everything worked out …
It is difficult sometimes to transport desserts. But cook or create them in these jelly jars and you have a totally portable and delicious dessert in one.

This is one of my top 5 favorite cookies. They are easy to make, look pretty and have a hint of ginger flavor to go with the semi-sweet chocolate. You would think the flavor combination wouldn’t work well, but it’s the best. I made these because they were on the cover of Martha Stewart’s Cookies …
