Chewy Ginger Spice Cookies with Ras El Hanuot

Ras el hanout is a perfectly-balanced collection of more than a dozen exotics spices like cardamom, cinnamon, paprika and more. It’s absolutely amazing when added to Middle Eastern dishes like lamb, and adds a powerful blast of savory flavor to cookies. Combining candied ginger really seals the deal.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ras el hanout
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
