Welcome that Rustic Dinner got a work out this week.

And as if I wasn't in the kitchen enough already Author Melissa Bourbon shared a cookie recipe I can't wait try!

Here's what I cooked . . .

Ruby’s Ginger Cookies from Devil’s Brew Cafe

Ginger cookies are my absolute favorite! This recipe is my grandmother’s. We make them every fall (many times) and enjoy every last crumb.

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup molasses

2 1/4 flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp salt

Sugar to roll the cookies in

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses.

2. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.

3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Combine well.

4. Roll dough into 3 inch balls. Roll in sugar to coat and place on uncreased cookie/baking sheet.

5. Bake until cookies puff up slightly and are lightly browned, approximately 10-12 minutes.
