Magic Stars Gingerbread Cookies from Hawkens Gingerbread

The Gingerbread Magic Stars are exactly what ginger cookies should be: a bit of fun. These bite-sized cookies are packed with flavor. The magic of Magic Stars is in the spice blend that plays tricks on your taste buds. To give the cookies texture and bite, lemon and orange peels and crystallized ginger pieces have been added.

Alastair Hawken saved Grantham Gingerbread from disappearing into the history books when he learned that production of the cookies his town had always been famous for had ceased. Alastair began baking without a recipe, and after much experimentation, failure, refinement, and taste testing by focus groups, the product re-entered the market and became the success it is today. After a chance meeting with a fourth generation family member of William Eggleston, it was later discovered that the recipe was identical to the original! So Gingerbread friends not only in England can still enjoy the classic taste of England's oldest cookie recipe.
