Traditional Newfoundland Lassie Spiced Cookies

By Bonita's Kitchen January 5, 2017

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.
