Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Cover a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the oil, honey, coffee, and eggs and mix gently to combine.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log, 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30cm) long by 4 inches (10cm) wide, leaving 2 to 3 inches between each loaf.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the loaves are set and a little browned on the bottom.
- Slide the parchment paper off the pan. Let the loaves sit for 5 minutes.
- Slice each loaf into 1-inch (2cm) slices. Place a new piece of parchment paper on the pan and place the cookies on it, cut side down.
- Bake for 5 more minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pan.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
