I discovered that I'd "traced" this thread from last year, so I figured I'd just refresh it.

Here's my favorite cooky recipe:

Cream together 1 C butter and 1½ C sugar

Add
1 egg, beaten until fluffy
1½ T grated orange peel
2 T clear corn syrup
1 T water

Mix above.

Sift together
3¼ C flour
2 t baking soda
2 t cinnamon
1 t ginger
Add dry ingredients to butter-sugar mix. Chill.

Roll out & cut into shapes.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.

Happy holidays, everyone.
