Why Wee One #2 wanted to bake holiday sugar cookies at the end of March, I have no idea, but I'll all about encouraging her playing in the kitchen. This is the 8th recipe the kids have made from Linda Collister's book!

Holiday Spice Cookies - from Baking with Kids (p.22)
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp apple-pie spice*
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold butter
6 tbsp clear honey
*I had to call my Dad when I read this because when I make apple pie I just add cinnamon, nutmeg and sometimes a little allspice. So here I added 1/2 tsp nutmeg.
