1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cardamom
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground allspice
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground coriander
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground clove
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground black pepper
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground ginger
2 tsp (10 ml) baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In a separate bowl, beat butter with brown sugar. Stir in honey, molasses and yogurt. Beat dry ingredients into liquid mixture. Stir until dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Ask children to decorate cookies with icing, candy, chocolate pieces, dried fruit, etc. Serve with a cold glass of milk.
