Spice cookies are iconic comfort food.  There is nothing like dunking a warm cookie in a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of cocoa or sweet milk tea.  This is a simple recipe combining sugar and spice to make something quite nice.

• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Russian Mulling Spice
• 1/4 tsp Lemon Ginger Curry
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted.
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

to make this gluten free use 1/2 cup each corn, arrowroot and rice flour.  Be sure to sift each.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until mixture is creamy and light. Add the egg, a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the lemon zest. Add the sifted flour, Russian Mulling Spice and Lemon Ginger Curry.  Using a wooden spoon, stir well until the mixture forms a stiff dough. Knead dough lightly in the bowl and, add white chocolate chips.  Using your hands, shape the dough into 25 small balls. Place the balls on the greased baking sheets, leaving room between each to spread during baking. Flatten each cookie slightly with the flat back of a cup dipped in flour. Bake for 10 minutes until the cookies become a rich golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a heatproof surface for five minutes. Then, with a spatula, transfer cookies to a cooling rack until cold.
