Honey‑Ginger Cookies
Description
Ideally suited for tea and coffee. The specified amount of ingredients allows you to make cookies with a very delicate and subtle flavor, so if desired you can increase the amount of honey and ground ginger added. You can also choose not to dip the items in granulated sugar; this will not affect their quality or taste. Or you can dip them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, for example. They can be served with tea or coffee.

Step 1
Prepare all of the above, keeping in mind that despite the leavening properties of corn flour (which helps make the dough more crumbly), its addition to the dough is not a mandatory step, so this flour can be substituted with the same amount of wheat flour.
