Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cup Brown Sugar lightly packed
1/4 cup Honey
2 Eggs

1 tsp Vietnamese Cinnamon

This recipe is from our friend and blogger Theresa over at Outlander Kitchen. Theresa is from the tiny island of Pender, B.C. The recipe is entitled Ginger Biscuits, but since around these parts a biscuit is what’s eaten at breakfast with butter and jelly, we reworked the recipe name. Here’s how she describes these goodies: “soft cake-like cookies spiced with ginger and cinnamon and studded with little bursts of salt.” Crystallized Ginger studs the interior with warm flavor and Ginger Sugar provides the sweet crunch on the exterior. So, so good. Inside and out.
