These cookies are a easy treat to bake
Everyone is always looking for a sweet treat to satisfy their sugar craving and these ginger cookies are sure to delight. Paired with a glass of milk, these cookies are the perfect snack for anytime of the day.
For two dozen cookies, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt into a large bowl.
