Unfortunately, I am not one of those women who manage to make it through a pregnancy without experiencing morning sickness. In fact, it hits me pretty hard, and trust me I tried everything and anything in attempts to lessen the nausea. Nothing was the cure-all. However, once I was past the worst of it, I did try to incorporate ginger into my diet. It just seemed to settle my tummy. Throughout my most recent pregnancy I made these ginger cookies a lot. They are soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside and the ginger flavor really stands out. So, if you are pregnant, or you just like ginger, give these cookies a try!
