Yield Makes enough for about 2 dozen townhouse cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons ground ginger
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup honey
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium-high speed until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
