Sugar and spice make these Christmas cookies among the nicest I've ever tried. Deliciously old-fashioned, they've been our family favorites for years. Busy holiday bakers will be pleased to know that the dough is very easy to work with. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/4 cup honey |
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and honey. Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, salt, cinnamon and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Shape into 1-in. balls. Dip half of each ball into water and then into sugar. Place with sugar side up 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 5 dozen.
