Grandma's Gingerbread Cookies
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. I love making these little cakes with apricot jam, but you can use apple or any other jam of your choice. Just make sure the jam is thick and won't spread too much. Also, for making grandmother's little cakes, take a teaspoon of spices—especially cinnamon and cloves. If you want the cake to be darker in color, add brown sugar, toasted beforehand, to the dough during mixing. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
