Wanted recipe for cookie - stem ginger and lemon shortbread

<p>Last year I picked up a box of Walker’s stem ginger and lemon shortbread cookies. I really liked them but cannot find them again except on Amazon where I’d have to buy a case - [Walker's</a> Shortbread Stem Ginger & Lemon Cookies, 5.3-Ounce (Pack of 12): Amazon.com: Grocery & Gourmet Food](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Walkers-Shortbread-Ginger-Cookies-5-3-Ounce/dp/B001HTKN64]Walker’s”>http://www.amazon.com/Walkers-Shortbread-Ginger-Cookies-5-3-Ounce/dp/B001HTKN64) I like to bake cookies at Christmas and have some candied Ginger that I picked up at Trader Joe’s. I will probably just wing a recipe adding lemon zest and tiny pieces of Ginger to a shortbread cookie recipe but thought I would throw out a request here first to see if anyone has a real recipe. They were very unique and tasty with the sharp ginger bite and lemon zing.</p>

<p>so…what is STEM ginger? The ginger I see, buy and use is a root.</p>

<p>ETA:
“Also known as preserved ginger, stem ginger is young ginger that has been peeled and preserved in sugar syrup. The syrup is usually quite sweet and provides a good contrast to the spicy, golden nuggets of ginger”

<p>I made some with a recipe from Cook’s illustrated- I will see if I can find it-

<p>This isn’t cookies but it sounds good- only what is treacle?</p>

<p>isn’t treacle a by-product of refining sugar? sort of like molasses?</p>

<p>That sounds about right mafool - [Treacle</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treacle]Treacle”>Treacle - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Not a cake fan emeraldkity, although that does look interesting. Also, no one else in my family really liked the cookies so Christmas would be good so I can share with friends, and not eat them all myself!</p>

<p>I haven’t tried these, but they sound similar to what you are describing.</p>

<p>Thank you swimcatsmom and 2VU0609. I think the last one looks the most like what I want, but good to have the one from swimcatsmom, so I know how much ginger to add.</p>

<p>Yay cookie season!</p>

<p>Report back on how they turn out. You can be the guinea pig.</p>

<p>Have you tried the Carr’s ginger lemon cream cookies? They’re pretty tasty too and pretty easy to find. </p>

<p>emk, that cake looks amazing but I am too lazy to convert all those British measurements!</p>
