Ingredients

*1 tbsp baking soda
* 1 cup cornsyrup
* 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
* 1 cup of butter or margarine
* 2 eggs
* 1 ½ tbsp cloves
* 1 ½ tbsp ginger
* 4 - 5 cups flour

Then mix in the eggs, spices, baking soda and flour (keeping some flour aside for rolling out the dough). Let the dough rest overnight at room temperature and cover with plastic or wax paper. The next day: roll the dough (quite thin) and cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter. Bake in an oven at 350-375° F for 6 minutes. This recipe makes about 150 cookies.
