Stir together flour and ginger; add dry mixture to butter mixture, mixing well.

Bake only 2 or 3 cookies at a time because you must work quickly to form the cones before they cool and become brittle.
Bake in oven for 9 to 10 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Quickly invert cookies onto another cookie sheet, and wrap each cookie around the greased handle of a wooden spoon or a metal cone.
When cookie is set, slide cookie off spoon or cone; cool on a wire rack.

If cookie gets too brittle to roll, run back in the oven for 1 minute to soften.
