1 ½ tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F 
Blend butter and sugar together to form a sticky dough. Add all of the other ingredients except for the flour into the bowl. Blend well and then add flour a little at a time with the mixer on low. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar. Transfer to an oiled baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each cookie.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
