I know it’s not Christmas anymore... but it’s cold outside and these are warm.

I’ve tried other recipes before, but they weren’t quite what I was hoping for. I saw this recipe in a cookbook my sisters got me for my birthday. It’s everything I wanted it to be. Gingery warm, slightly crisp on the outside, and chewy without being gooey. Let’s make cookies together.

Grab your flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt. Mix together then set aside.

Once fully incorporated, gradually mix in as much of the flour mixture as you can.

Mix the rest in with a spoon.

Using a 1/4 cup, scoop dough and roll into balls. Place on baking sheet prepped with parchment paper or silicone baking mats (these seriously are so lovely)

Coat each ball in sugar. Bake at 350° for 14 minutes.

Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes.

Then cool completely on a wire rack.
