1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves

Move to cookie racks to cool.

Decorate with icing an sparkles.

Hints:

Add up to 1 tsp of ginger if your kids like the flavor.
The spices get stronger if the cookies aren't eaten right away.

We love the flavor in these cookies. They are much nicer than traditional sugar cookies and they freeze well. Ice them after they've thawed.

Now, if only someone could come up with an idea for nutritional icing and decorations!
