Cinnamon Cookies

This makes a crisp cookie very much like a gingersnap but not so gingery. I have been making these for 40 or so years. I originally got the recipe from my sis.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 36 cookies

Prep Time: 15   Cook Time: 12 to 15 minutes  

Ingredients

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup honey
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Cream together the shortening and the sugar. Add honey and egg and mix well.

Mix dry ingredients together in bowl and then add to shortening mixture. Mix well.

Form into l inch balls and roll in a cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet; they will spread and crack open like gingersnaps.

Bake 375° for 12-15 minutes
