    List of Ingredients




    Spicy Ginger Cookies

    4 cups flour
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup molasses
    1 1/4 cups sugar

    Instructions:

    1. Combine flour, spices, salt, and baking soda - stir well. Place flour mixture in a clean mason jar. Pack down tight so everything will fit in the jar. (Use a spoon or a mallet.) Add other ingredients, one item at a time, packing each layer down.

    2. Put the lid on the jar and tie a ribbon around the lid. You can add a personalized label, if you wish. As an added touch, tie a wooden spoon to the lid with a piece of ribbon.

    3. Print out the following instructions on a gift card and tape the card to the jar:
