Ginger and Spice Cookies

Quick and easy to prepare, my Ginger and Spice Cookies are even quicker and easier to eat! These cookies are amazingly rich and flavorsome.

I’ve used the same spice combination you often see included in those great wintry, Christmas dishes and drinks, like Gluwein, mulled wine, German Christmas cookies, braised red cabbage and so on.

Ginger, cinnamon, and cloves – I think people will always associate these tastes with that special time of year when it’s cold outside but you’re cozied up inside enjoying something warming and fragrant. Another important ingredient: molasses. This is what gives the cookies that deep, treacle flavor, almost like burnt sugar.

To make Spiced Ginger Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
