These cookies are a great way to use up leftover spices. I always have a few extra cloves and ginger lying around, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

These cookies are a little bit spicy, but in a good way. The sugar helps to balance out the spice, so they're not too hot. I really enjoyed them.
