Honey Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/2 cup honey

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 cups all-purpose flour

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two cookies sheets; set aside.

2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine sugar, butter, and honey. When melted remove from heat and set aside.

3. Beat together the egg, vanilla, baking soda, and ginger. Slowly add the cooled honey mixture in. Gradually stir in flour until just mixed.

4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 8-12 minutes (or 15 if you have a less powerful oven) until golden brown. Let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.

5. If desired for a sweeter taste, drizzle some honey over each cookie after cooled.

Comments:

These sweet, warm cookies have a wonderful ginger-y taste incorporated into them as well. Their soft texture and spongy inside make them melt in your mouth, and are perfect for those springtime picnics.
