I’m in love with these cookies!

They are flavorful and crunchy and PERFECT!

I do not remember where I got the recipe- if you recognize them from

your blog let me know.  I’d like to thank you profusely for sharing the recipe!

I have a log in the refrigerator and I’ve been making a dozen a day.
If I made more, I’d eat more.

Here’s a great recipe for wonderful tea cookies!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks butter

1 cup brown sugar

3 TBS molasses

1 TBS hot strong coffee

2 3/4 cups plain flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsps ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 cup chopped candied ginger peel

Method:

Cream together butter and sugar, add coffee and molasses, and

mix well.  Sift dry ingredients together and add to wet mixture.

Stir together until you have a smooth soft dough.  Knead  3 times

on lightly floured surface. 

Refrigerate covered for at least 1 hour.

Either make into a roll and slice or roll out thin and cut into

shapes.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes and cool on wire rack.

Careful- they are addictive!
