After I made my ginger-rich Redhead cookies, I started thinking about autumn spices. (Nothing smells better to me than late-September air mixed with freshly baked apple pie. Mmmm.) What's your favorite fall flavor? There just might be a cookie in it for you...
I chose cardamom (other). This is my favourite spice for cookies and sweet breads. Ginger is a very close second though.

Finally I'm in the majority in your poll. Cinnamon is my favorite by far - even though I do like ginger.

Why isn't there an all of the above tab?

Hey, Jem. Thanks for weighing in! Cardamom is definitely on my to-do list...maybe even this week!

...actually, Jem, I've got notes for doing a cardamom and rosewater cookie. Stay tuned!

Hi, Lorraine. Ha! Maybe I'll do a cinnamon snap cookie. I still some of my Redhead cookies in the freezer for you.

Hey, Alicia. Good point. Maybe I'll do an "Autumn Spice and Everything Nice" cookie that does include all of the spices listed in the poll. There's nothing wrong with a spice cookie, right? :-)

I love spice cookies and spice cake. I do a molasses cookie that is flavored with cinnamon, ginger, a little clove and a hint of black pepper. I love them!!

Hi, Alicia. Good idea to use that hint of black pepper. It really does add that somethin'-somethin' to the background.
