Mmmmmmm. . . smells like Christmas in my house today! I am making my very favorite Spice Cookies this morning, to take to Julie’s baby shower tomorrow. I usually only make these around the holidays, so every time I get them out of the oven, I am overpowered by their pungent, spicy fragrance. It is such a warm and evocative smell!
How to make your own Spice Cookies:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream:
1 C shortening
3/4 C brown sugar
3/4 T cinnamon
3/4 t. ground cloves
3/4 t. nutmeg
3/4 t. ginger
Add:
2 eggs
1 C molasses
3 T honey
Stir in:
3/4 t baking powder
1 1/4 t Baking soda
4 1/2 C flour
Chill for a few hours. Scoop out with a small cookie scoop, roll in baking sugar and/or chopped crystalized ginger. Bake 8–9 minutes. Optional: Press chocolate mercken/disk into each cookie while still on the sheet after removing from oven.
Soft and chewy and YUM!!
