Darsha's Favorite Ginger Cookies: (Darsha Whorton) These are also from my childhood. My Grandma Darlene Burbach would bake several batches of cookies and load them all into an ice cream bucket and send them to the farm with Grandpa Warren. She always included these cookies. They quickly became my favorite. As with the muffins I would request these oh so soft cookies. Darsha's Favorite Ginger Cookies: 1 c. butter 1 1/2 c. Brown suger 2 eggs 3/8 c. molasses 3 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. cloves 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp ginger 3 1/2 c. flour sugar to dip cookie balls in Cream butter, brown sugar, and eggs together. Mix in molasses. Sift together flour, soda, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Add to creamed mixture. Chill about 30 minutes. Form small balls and roll in sugar. Place balls on cookie sheet and flatten. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Do not over bake (they are best soft). Remove from cookie sheet at once.	Cinnamon Muffins (Breakfast): from Darsha Whorton These are my favorite breakfast item. When I was young my mom made these for us kids before school. When I got older and she went to school Dad took over breakfast duty. He would ask me what I wanted for breakfast and I would say 4 out of the 5 days I would ask for Cinnamon Muffins. He didn't try to make them, as I remember, for a while. However, when he did I was in heaven. To this day Cinnamon Muffins are my favorite breakfast item. Cinnamon Muffins: 2 c. whole-wheat flour 1/2 c. raw sugar (I use sucanat) 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/3 c. butter 1 egg, beaten 2/3 c. milk Filling: 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. chopped nuts, optional 2 tsp. cinnamon 2 T. butter, melted Stir flour, sugar and baking powder together. Cut in butter until mixture appears sandy. Mix in egg and milk. Stir just until moistened. For filling: mix brown sugar, nuts, cinnamon, and butter. Divide 1/2 of the batter in 12 greased muffin cups, filling each about 1/3 full. Sprinkle filling mixture over batter and top each muffin with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 18 to 20 minutes.
