Recipe

This is an easy and yummy recipe for parties or an occasional treat. I have been making these cookies every fall and winter since my older son was in preschool. One of the moms from the preschool shared with me a cookie, and than the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp ground cloves

  • 1 tsp ground cardamom

  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

  • ½ tsp salt

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter with sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined and color becomes lighter. Add spices and mix it all well. Stir in flour until just combined. Make teaspoon size balls and place them on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Optional: After the cookies are cooled, sprinkle them with powder sugar.
