You will need:
3 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of all spice
1/2 of sea salt
3/4 cup of butter
2/3 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp of vanilla
2 1/2 tsp fresh minced ginger
1/4 cup of honey
In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugars, then beat in the egg, vanilla, ginger, and honey. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix well. Chill for 45 mins. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the 1/4 cup of sugar into another small bowl. Make dough into small balls (about 2 tbs each) and roll through sugar. Place each ball on to a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 mins or until browned.
Tip: If dough is too sticky try getting your hands damp with water before rolling into balls and the dough won't stick to them!
Substitutes:
If you don't have fresh ginger it is ok! Just use 2 tsp of ground ginger and add it to the dry ingredients along with the cinnamon and all spice.
For a darker and stronger flavored cookie: replace the honey with 1/4 of molasses.
