  • teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. If you have silicone baking mats, line two baking sheets
    with them. Otherwise line each baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt,

  • Scoop dough using a tablespoon or 1 ½ Tbsp. cookie scoop (filling it just
    slightly heaping). Drop onto prepared baking sheet spacing cookies about
    2-inches apart. If you want your cookies completely smooth you can roll
    them into balls. Bake one sheet at a time at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool
    on baking rack.

    after baking.
