Honey Gingerbread Spice Cookies
These Honey Gingerbread Spice Cookies are a great twist on the classic gingerbread cookie recipe. Instead of using molasses, as is used for traditional gingerbread cookies, this recipe uses honey. This classic cookie recipe is great for entertaining, as well as wrapping up for gifts. For a crunchy cookie, make a smaller, flatter cookie and tack on 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
Notes
For crispier cookies roll smaller balls (3/4 inch), flatten them slightly more and tack 2 minutes onto the bake time. If you’re not following a gluten free diet you replace the gluten free Bisquick by stirring together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt.
