Viewed: 64 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 5 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 teaspoons baking soda
- white sugar (for rolling)
Method
- Cream together the brown sugar and shortening.
- Beat in the eggs and honey.
- Combine dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
- Chill dough in refrigerator for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls and roll in white sugar. (Keep dough chilled between batches so it doesn't get too soft).
- Place 2-inches apart on a slightly greased (or parchment paper covered) baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.
- Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on pan for about 5 minutes then remove to cool completely. (I use parchment and just slide the parchment off the baking sheet onto the counter to cool).
