Stamps Ginger Cookies: Because Life is Short, but Cookies are Longer

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of butter, softened, because who needs to be subtle?
• 1 cup of white sugar, because white is the new black (for cookies, not our souls)
• 2 cups of brown sugar, because everything's better with a little extra sugar
• 4 large eggs, because 2 just wouldn't be enough
• 4 cups of all-purpose flour, because you can never have too much of a good thing
• 2 tsp baking soda, because a little bit of magic never hurts
• 1 tsp ground ginger, because this is a ginger cookie recipe, after all
• Salt, because even the best cookies need a little pinch of reality

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), because who doesn't love a good oven?
2. Whisk together the butter and sugars until it's like you're in a sweet, sweet dream
3. Crack in those eggs, because eggs are the answer to all life's problems
4. In a separate, but not too separate, bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Don't overdo it, or you'll be the real cookie monster
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until it's just combined. Don't overthink it, because that's not what cookies are for
6. Sprinkle in that magical ginger, because a pinch of magic is just what these cookies need
7. Pour the dough into a cookie sheet lined with a little bit of magic, and bake for 10-12 minutes
8. Let the cookies cool, because who needs to eat a hot cookie?

Now that you have the recipe, remember: the most important ingredient is love. Or, you know, butter. Or is it both?
