Review: Fresh & Easy - Ginger Spice Cookies

Fresh & Easy's Ginger Spice Cookies recently arrived at my local store as a seasonal holiday cookie.

A box of 10 cookies was $2.99 and I bought them because my local Fresh & Easy ran out of Pumpkin Spice Cookies (cue Edvard Munch's The Scream)

These are similar to soft-baked gingerbread cookies. You get a nice hit of molasses, cinnamon, and cloves. Notable is a strong ginger flavor; the strongest I've ever tasted in a gingerbread cookie. It was distinctive and there was that a tinge of that spicy ginger edge.

The cookies had a decent crust and a moist, crumbly interior.

Overall, Fresh & Easy's Ginger Spice Cookies were just okay for me. The strong ginger flavor, while interesting, is a little too overbearing for gingerbread cookies. I'd prefer a more traditional gingerbread cookie.
