Diabetic Oatmeal Cookies With Chocolate Chunks and Candied Ginge image

This is my own adapted version that I made from an Epicurious recipe. They are delicious but I need to say that they taste best the next day. When fresh from the oven the ginger hasn't really matured and mingled to it's best yet.
