Giant Ginger Cookies

This is definitely one of my favorite Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season cookie.  However, it is almost Easter, so why did I just make them?  Because they are good all freakin' year round!  Oh, and my Grandma was craving them.  So, with my mother working as my assistant (ha) we produced a delicious batch and the house was left smelling wonderfully like holiday spices.
