Ginger Cookies


No store bought cookie beats homemade.

Ginger Cookies

1/2 lb. butter
1 C brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 C flour
1 t. baking powder
1 T fresh ginger root, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg. Sift the flour and baking powder and stir into the wet ingredients. Stir in the grated ginger.

Drop small balls of dough, the size of a grape, from a teaspoon onto a buttered cookie sheet. Sprinkle a very small amount of granulated sugar on top. (optional)
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges brown. Watch carefully.
