Ginger Cookies

Here's an easy cookie recipe that will have your
 whole house smelling like a bakery. 

 They are full of spicy cinnamon, ginger, cloves, 

and nutmeg. YUM!

I used a hand  mixer to cream the butter and sugar,

then added the egg and honey. Mix well.

Dump all the dry ingredients into a sifter.

 Add to the the bowl and mix well. 

I chilled the dough to  make it easier to handle.

 Roll into 1" balls and then roll in sugar.

 Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake

 @375 for 9 minutes....that was 

the perfect time for me.

 Cool on the sheet for 5  minutes before removing.

Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before

 storing in an airtight container. Of course you'll

want to eat one or two while they're still warm

with your tea or coffee. 

Delicious! 

You  might as well double the recipe because

they are great for sharing and they go fast!
