Traditional Newfoundland Lassie Spiced Cookies
Pre-heat your oven to 350° and bake these delicious cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, they will be soft on the inside and a little crispy on the outside.
I also love to make some blueberry jam and whipped cream to have with these lassie spiced cookies.
You can also make a double batch of cookies and freeze them for another time.

This is a delicious ball of cookie dough, not just any cookie dough it’s packed full of ginger, cinnamon and molasses.
Everytime I make this cookie recipe it takes me back to when I was a child in Newfoundland and my mom would make these on a cold winter day, or at Christmas time.
This recipe is prefect for making ginger bread cookies.
