Honey-Ginger Bites image

This comes from the December 2007 edition of Better Homes & Gardens. I have not tried these but looks like a great addition to a cookie tray. Store in an airtight container in layers separated by waxed paper at room temperature for up to 3 days. May freeze up to 3 months. Makes 240 tiny cookies according to the directions. Chill time included in prep time.****OOPS**** Thanks to the first reviewer I corrected the recipe to include the egg. So sorry!
