Honey Ginger Chocolate Chip Cookies

It is Life Group season again! Our group starts tonight, and that means in addition to learning about love and respect in our relationships, we will be enjoying these Honey Ginger Cookies that I whipped up...don't you just love the smell of cookies baking?

This recipe is really simple. If you liked my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, or the Butternut Squash Chocolate Chip Cookies you are sure to love these...

You will need:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Place oven racks in top third and lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat butter in a large mixing bowl just until creamy using an electric mixer. Add brown sugar, mixing on medium until combined. Add egg, honey, fresh ginger, and ground spices just until blended. Gradually add flour mixture to this wet mixture beating on low until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto wax paper lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 F for 13 to 15 minutes just until cracked and lightly browned. Switch baking sheets between top and lower racks about halfway through baking time. Cool completely, then store in airtight containers at room temperature. Enjoy!
