      Chewy Ginger Honey Cookies Recipe (45)
      The way this recipe is written can be very troublesome for an inexperienced baker. First of all, the recipe calls for baking soda, but baking powder is mentioned in the instructions. Second, the recipe calls for honey but this ingredient isn’t mentioned in the instructions. Moreover, the instructions say to preheat the oven in the first step, but the dough needs to be chilled for quite sometime (about 1.5 hours) before baking, so why keep the oven on that whole time?
      To the inexperienced baker: it is baking soda, add the honey with the egg, and don’t preheat your oven until 15 mins before putting the cookies in.

    Aarthi,
    I’m trying out you recipe today. A couple of things I noticed as I was mixing up the ingredients. In the list of ingredients you say baking soda. Then in the typed instructions you say baking powder. I had to research another recipe to see which might be correct. I went with baking “soda”. Also, in the typed instructions you do not state when to add the honey. Being an experienced baker, I figured it out. Perhaps you could correct these two items. It would be helpful for new bakers.
