  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
