I'll say that #4 is not typically used, and yes, I have all 5 items.
I'm with you, I don't like the making of them, but I sure enjoy the eating. Anything with molasses gets two thumbs up from me!

I agree, crystalized ginger. It would make good 'face' materials.

Two people have said ginger, so I will guess that too, but truthfully I don't know the answer.

I think it's number 4 too! And I did before I saw the other comments:)

Who would buy crystallized ginger when it's so easy-peasy to make at a fraction of the cost?

crystallized ginger

#4 but I think it would make a nice addition to a more "rustic version" of these cookies!
