Name: Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chunks and Candied Ginger
Prep time: 15 minutes Baking
Yield: Makes about 50 cookies
Ingredients: 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened; 1 1/4 cups (packed) brown sugar; 1 large egg; 1/4 cup honey; 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 6 ounces semisweet chocolate (60 to 65 percent cocoa), coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups); 1 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped

These chewy oatmeal cookies are spicy with ginger and not too sweet. Look for candied ginger that's cut into cubes and is not dusted with sugar — it'll be more tender and easier to chop.
