https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/gingersnap_cookies/ <- modification from this one anyone from this site come bark note I had modify on fly when it came out super flat. I was surprised I remembered it looked like lace cookies.
Not what I wanted but adding what I did came out better. Saved the day.
Ingredients
Wet
4oz. Unsalted butter + 4 oz shortening <- 1/2 cup both if people don't get it.
1/4 c. or 2 TB sugar(adding what says on recipe makes too crunch crunch taste)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 c. Molasses
Dry
3 c. fiber flour(Br. Rice Flour, Nut flour, or heart healthy flour, Wheat flour depends you can use spelt).
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tsp roasted Ginger
2 TB of fresh Ginger < stops here if you making sweet variety
Spicy variety mix match whatever works:
two turns of grinder black pepper
1/2 tsp Japanese seven spice
1/2 tsp Paprika
(I was thinking any other we could gotten ghost pepper or something hotter...I wanted something keep warm in rainstorm.)
Don't forget if your making sweet mix type you best add some peanuts...or something nut variety so people will know it sweet one. Or mark them. 1 c. would be okay...(unsweetened coconut would be good as well but I have coconut haters coming so I could not put in sweet batch).
Spicy kind I just put dried raisins in at least 1/4 cup in batch just keep from bringing too much heat.Should cooked longer make crispy.

Directions
Mix dry and spice together, Beat wet together, scrape the sides of bowel very important.
Add dry gradually...not all in one time even how impatient you get. you get dust cloud...every where...
Use serving spoon to place in mixing machine bowel if you have issues.
By hand would been less frustrating but its get sticky I realize not everyone likes playing with gingersnap dough because you have wait until gets firm.
For me I had to check it I had wait until next day. My mother was impatient she get asking am I done with kitchen yet...
it states for rest period you have put in loaf pan I think you can still flour it and put into rolled forms and put in means where you cut up and place in freezer but it sticky. So best case scenario would freeze it and and then make use of it..
took overnight time and some then rolling it out I recommend using plastic bag...and flour on top that surface then using wax paper or parchment paper because it throwing it out that sort thing.
after its firm. [cut in thinnest possible you can cut into thick but it still taste like author of original recipe said it taste good. But her idea of making cookies coming out as lace cookies still come out better then her plan. She may have forgotten it was different butter ingredient, it could butter and Ghee. Or something else.] cut thin or thick, think you have to leave it as is, thick you cut in half and leave where it is be fine cookie.
small but be enough for adult and child.
Preheat time for baking process, 350 F/176 C 7-12 minutes however for me I had put in 15 minute due elevation and I wanted crispy not goey cookies had bad experiences with cookies and oven that quit all the time so crispy tasting cookies were on menu.

Notes
I was thinking this cookie would work well for engraving or painting type style but I ran out time maybe someone else would take up torch and make into something more.
Royal icing is pretty easy to make but that something if want to take up.
Icing you just add confectioner sugar and milk depending on thickness, and adding flavor and color.
Royal icing you add egg white, or egg white powder it matters...because gives stiff peaks that last and depending if your adding color there are recipes online you can search for.
I left mine plain, if want to add fresh ginger to give more punch to taste...it not recommended its already spicy depending cinnamon your using. I am using Saigon cinnamon that is pretty much packing heat.

Carob & Chocolate fudge or Double pan chocolate Fudge
Fudge originally came from Bettycrocker.com recipe it was my favorite it was consider too much, too thick but I divided them up and used it double pan method.
Foil ban 13 x 9 pan or cookie sheets it recommend if you use cookie sheet method you clean up your freezer and, 13 x 9 its medium thick, and if cookie sheet method its thinner but there is more.
Make super thick suggest using loaf pan...and my mother loves this method and to idea it best method so far. but you need to put loaf pan in for two hours...prior to stove top cooking. Allow you have setting faster..refrigeration time will shorter...it take hour with cold pan to go with hot fudge...and then you put either freezer or refrigerator I always put in freezer for like thirty minutes and it sets faster.
Note for storing: best to keep in refrigerator otherwise you end up with strange slab of soft fudge...resembles taffy or playdoh.
Ingredients
2 12 oz. Semi-sweet, white, dark, bittersweet or milk chocolate or [carob(is no caffeine)]
1 can 14 oz condense milk (divided)(3/4 c. set aside)
1 c. rough texture (nuts: coconut no sweet, walnuts(toasted), pecans(slightly toasted), peanuts, or pistachios)
2 tsp vanilla
Other tasty ingredients you could add: (1/4 C.) each. for other sweet, or salty or bacon, instant coffee you can just use 1 tsp to 1 tbsp.
instant coffee at very end of stove-top process,
after chocolate is melted in, candied cherries, Pretzels, cookies, popped rice, raisins, dried fruit, Bacon that still considered chewy but still has crispy texture. coconut if you didn't add prior.

Directions
1)be sure to do this before you do recipe, take and a.foil butter it bottom of pan where fudge will sit and freeze it. Because it crucial step. Miss it and your fudge won't set and other issue is everyone assume refrigerating is necessary right but I thinking freezing the pan helps setting it takes only thirty minutes maybe even less you can have more time to cut.
2) large sauce pan or or pot, spray cooking spray, melt chocolate and condense milk until creamy, Stir in rough texture and add vanilla if your going use it.
3) it take 2 hours set if you don't do butter pan set aside in freezer method. if you set aside in freezer the pan you end up saving yourself hour... to set in freezer again or fridge depending on available space.

Notes
If you need ideas bettycrocker had some ideas but you have also assume what tastes good too.
If your adding flavor don't add vanilla -> vanilla is flavoring.
Mint is common flavoring, try mint alcohol flavor would be interesting but add fresh mint would add color to top of fudge as it sets.
*Second type chocolate same sort method. but whatever is left, here is idea what double chocolate idea was suppose to be. Idea was put on chocolate on cooled already chocolate which I seem to think is impossible because maybe it would worked. But I think might never worked it cooled chocolates would work maybe but that just my general idea I tried it, It failed. So if your trying make it work you have to have freezer that walk in and have no chances of failure. other issue that I ran into that big problem for me...not all chocolates work together taste your chocolates first and what textures first before you make double chocolate layer I was thinking three type fudge would something gawk at but since I have no walk in freezer to make this amazing feat. Anyone else up for grab on it your welcome to try it.
Probably the reason why Bettycrocker took it down.
Nuts(?) : if you have people with nut allergies I recommend using dried fruit and your own made cookies added in broken up into recipe. Or Popped Rice. Why nuts toasted because it tastes better?
Chocolate note: chocolate that tastes good, even bars, or something you love to eat as fudge in your existence. I noted people assume toll house is good...don't I can only assume it only good for cookies and bars. Fudge will last about(5 mos to half a year) Guitard is good timely brand but where I live this brand is sold out everyday or I never find it.

Chicken in Ginger-Caramel Sauce
This is a family favorite that I got from the SF Chronicle food section.
Ingredients
1/2 Cups dark brown sugar 1 Tbl oil
1/4 Cups water 1 Shallot, sliced
1/4 Cups Asian fish sauce 1¾ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
3 Tbl rice vinegar dark-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp minced garlic ¼ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
1 Tsp soy sauce, dark or regular white-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp ginger, grated fine Steamed white rice (or quinua)
1 Tsp freshly ground pepper Mushrooms, Shitake or small Portobello
2 small Thai chilies (fresh or dried), broken in half, optional
1/4 Cups water 1 Shallot, sliced
1/4 Cups Asian fish sauce 1¾ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
3 Tbl rice vinegar dark-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp minced garlic ¼ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
1 Tsp soy sauce, dark or regular white-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp ginger, grated fine Steamed white rice (or quinua)
1 Tsp freshly ground pepper Mushrooms, Shitake or small Portobello
2 small Thai chilies (fresh or dried), broken in half, optional
Directions
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces
Combine the brown sugar, water, fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, pepper and chilies in a small bowl. Mix well, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the shallot and sauté until brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and sauté until it is slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally.
After 10 minutes, add the mushrooms. Continue to stir occasionally until the sauce has reduced by half, about 12 to 20 minutes depending on the pot size.
Serve over rice (or Quinoa and Kale from Costco) and garnish with cilantro.

Notes
Can substitute 1/4 tsp of red pepper powder for the chili peppers, otherwise follow recipe. The mushrooms were my daughter’s suggestion, they are optional. I use a MicroPlane to make the ginger almost a paste; my family complained a bit about the larger pieces when I cut them up by hand. When I use Thai chilies, I remove them before adding the sauce to the chicken.

Too Much Chocolate
My sister gave me this recipe a long time ago. It is easy to make, and very appreciated by all. I often make them for pot-luck lunches at work. It was the inspiration for my chocolate truffles.
Ingredients
1 Lb. Bittersweet (or semisweet) Chocolate, coarsely chopped
8 Oz (sweet) butter, Unsalted
6 Eggs, lightly beaten
CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE
2/3 Cup Heavy cream
6 Oz Semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 Oz (sweet) butter, Unsalted
6 Eggs, lightly beaten
CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE
2/3 Cup Heavy cream
6 Oz Semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Wrap the outside of an 8-inch springform pan in a double layer of aluminum foil to prevent seepage. Butter the pan and line the bottom with a round of parchment or waxed paper. Butter the paper.
2. Combine the chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl over a pan of hot--not simmering water. (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted, or you may melt it in a glass bowl in a microwave oven on high (100%), stopping and stirring every 15 seconds; remove the chocolate when there are still a few lumps and stir until completely smooth.
3. Put the eggs in a large mixer bowl set over simmering water and stir constantly until warm to the touch, about three minutes; remove from the heat. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs until they triple in volume and form soft peaks when the beater is lifted, about 5 to 8 minutes. (to ensure maximum volume if using a hand held mixer, continue to beat the eggs over simmering water until they are hot to the touch, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and beat until cool.)
4. Fold half the eggs into the melted chocolate until partially incorporated. Add the remaining eggs and fold until they are just blended and no streaks remain.
5. Pour at once into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in a larger roasting pan and add enough hot water to the pan to reach about 2/3 of the way up the springform.
6. Bake for five minutes. Cover the top of the springform pan loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a rack for 45 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until chilled and very firm, about 3 hours.
2. Combine the chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl over a pan of hot--not simmering water. (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted, or you may melt it in a glass bowl in a microwave oven on high (100%), stopping and stirring every 15 seconds; remove the chocolate when there are still a few lumps and stir until completely smooth.
3. Put the eggs in a large mixer bowl set over simmering water and stir constantly until warm to the touch, about three minutes; remove from the heat.

5. Pour at once into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in a larger roasting pan and add enough hot water to the pan to reach about 2/3 of the way up the springform.
6. Bake for five minutes. Cover the top of the springform pan loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a rack for 45 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until chilled and very firm, about 3 hours.
Notes
7. To unmold, run a small spatula or blunt knife around the edge and remove the side of the springform. Carefully invert the cake onto a plate that has been covered with plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the springform. Invert the plate again onto a cardboard round or a cake plate. Cover and refrigerate for up to two weeks before serving.
8. If you want to cover the cake with Chocolate Ganache Glaze, set it on a rack or tuck strips of waxed paper around the bottom of the cake. Pour the tepid glaze onto the center of the cake, letting it cascade over the sides. Run a long metal spatula lightly across the top so that the glaze will not be too thick. If necessary, use the spatula to patch any bare spots. Work quickly before the glaze sets. Prick any air bubbles with a needle or pin. Carefully remove any strips of waxed paper. Let the glaze stand undisturbed until set, 2 to 3 hours at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE
1. In a small heavy saucepan, scald the cream by heating it until it almost starts to boil. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes; then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let cool until tepid.
2. Stir the glaze to test it. It is ready to use when a small amount mounds just a tiny bit when dripped from the spoon before disappearing into the mixture. If the glaze is too thick and the mound remains on the surface, add warm water or liqueur by the teaspoonful, testing until the consistency is correct. If for some reason the glaze remains too thin, stir in more finely grated chocolate, heat until melted and then let cool again.
