Homemade honey gingerbread cookies
Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. This recipe includes honey. I always add cocoa to my gingerbread as well—it gives the baked goods a beautiful dark color. My go-to spices are cinnamon, citrus zest, and cloves. These gingerbreads make a great snack for kids. Moreover, they are perfect for the holiday season, especially when decorated with icing. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 4
The sign of readiness is a change in the color of the gingerbread. They should turn slightly golden brown. Make sure they don't burn.
