• 1 ½ c. unsalted butter (room temperature)

• 2 c. granulated sugar

• 1/2 c. honey

• 3 eggs

• 1/4 c. molasses

additionally….. 1/2 cup coarse sugar (you can use granulated sugar if you don’t want the expense of buying a different sugar)

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt) and set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Gradually add the 2 cups granulated sugar, beat until mixed well.

Add eggs, honey and molasses, and beat well. Add half of the flour mixture and mix together until combined. Stir remaining flour in with a large spoon.

Using large ice cream scoop shape the dough into 3 inch balls (think… golf ball) Roll each dough ball in the coarse or granulated sugar.

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet . Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 mins or until cookies are light brown and puffy. After they are removed from the oven, sprinkle on additional sugar while they’re hot.
