Lemon Ginger Cookies

  1. Can ginger essential oil be used instead of the ground ginger? If so, not sure what amount should be used. Have you ever tried it with essential oil only?

    1. Hi John!, I’ve never tried it with essential oils but I have a recipe for Ginger Snap Cookies by Dr. Axe that calls for “1 drop ginger essential oil OR 1 tsp of ground ginger.” I’d go by that ratio and let me know how it tastes! Thanks for the feedback!
