To be honest, I don't even know that spice, and I don't use it either. I omitted it and added an extra 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
I ate a few and gave the rest away. I have a week left to lose down another inch to win a bet.
Anyways, I have to put away the mixer (darn heavy thang) and stop making cookies for a while. My mom is getting a bit upset that I keep on baking and giving everything away, hehehe.
