Olympic Recipes: Ginger Peanut Butter Cookies for the USA's most beloved ginger, Shaun White!

Posted in honor of my favorite ginger Olympian, Shaun White!

Shaun White is by far my favorite Olympian of all time!  Growing up in Colorado as a young snowboarder I watched him grow the sport by innovating new tricks and blowing up the half pipe.  He might have taken 4th in the Olympics today, but he will always be #1 in my heart!  So, I baked him some comfort cookies!
