Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I thought it appropriate to talk food. My dough girl is a cute little shop decorated in 50's style decor. They sell gourmet cookies and frozen dough. These cookies are delicious. As good as homemade. For a complete list of their cookie selection visit: My Dough Girl

While eating one of these delicious cookies, I thought about what type of sweet confections a lady would have eaten in the past. I came across a recipe for Ginger Bread Cakes that seemed fitting for the time of year. I thought I would share.

Ginger Bread Cakes
Take 3 pd of flower a pd of sugar & a pd of butter rubbd very fine an ounce of ginger & a grated nutmeg mix it with a pd of treacle & a quarter of a pt of cream warmed together to make up you bread stiff roul them out cut them in little cakes bake them in a slack oven.

The Icing

I think I'll stick with "My Dough Girl". What about you, has anyone else tried these cookies?
