These spice-flavored gingerbread cookies can be cut into fun shapes for the holiday season.
Preparation time: 1 hrs 40 min Chilling time: 1 hrs Baking time: 6 min Cooling time: 15 min
Yield: 2 dozen (4-inch) cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
1 1/4
cups sugar
1
cup LAND O LAKES? Butter, softened
1
egg
3
tablespoons molasses
1
teaspoon vanilla
3
cups all-purpose flour
2
teaspoons ground cinnamon
1
teaspoon ground ginger
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
1/4
teaspoon salt
Frosting Ingredients:
3
cups powdered sugar
1/3
cup LAND O LAKES? Butter, softened
1
teaspoon vanilla
1
to 2 tablespoons milk
Cookie Directions
Combine sugar, butter, egg, molasses and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining cookie ingredients. Beat until well mixed. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (1 to 2 hours).
Heat oven to 375?F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 4-inch cookie cutter. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes or until set. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
Frosting Directions
Combine powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Decorate cooled cookies with frosting as desired.
I like these, easy and yummy.
