I got this recipe for honey cookies from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out the measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough." Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.
Ingredients
- white sugar: 1 cup
- shortening: 1 cup
- honey: 1 cup
- eggs: 2 piece
- vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- baking soda: 1 tsp
- ground ginger: 1 tsp
- all-purpose flour: 4 cups
