These soft ginger cookies are made with margarine, making them a dairy-free treat. They come together in about 45 minutes, from mixing to cooling, and yield a generous batch. The dough is spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and plenty of ginger, then rolled in sugar for a crisp exterior. Baking them for a shorter time will keep them extra chewy.
