Store owner Anne is all about a retro recipe. So much so, she wallpapered a wall with vintage recipes in the Teaching Kitchen at Red Stick Spice! Anne stumbled on this spice cookie recipe, originally called Elevator Lady Cookies, and she knew she had to give them a try. Gingerbread Spice subs in for the cinnamon, and an increase in salt was in order. The result? A vintage recipe that’s a modern-day must.
