Triple Ginger Cookies with Oatmeal and Chocolate Chips
 
 
If you thought all ginger cookies were like those hard, flat store-bought ones, you are in for a surprise. These triple ginger cookies are packed with, you guessed it, three kinds of ginger. Plus, with a generous helping of oats and chocolate chips, they will stay soft and gooey for as long as you can keep them from being eaten.

Notes
If you prefer less-sweet cookies, you can cut back on the both the Demerara and cane sugar, especially if you are using candied ginger coated with sugar.
