Frosted Ginger Cookies image

Found this recipe in a sunset magazine. I made them for my Christmas packages. I am glad I gave most of them away because otherwise I'd have eaten all of them within hours! Lot's of praise has been received for my baking skills this year from the recipients. Soft texture, spicy flavor and yummy frosting.

Time 35m

Yield 35 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup granulated sugar, plus more
sugar, for rolling cookies
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 egg
3 tablespoons molasses
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup granulated sugar with butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg and molasses and blend well.
  • In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add butter to mixture and blend well.
  • Fill a shallow bowl with granulated sugar. Break off walnut-size pieces of dough and roll into balls; roll balls in sugar. Arrange on greased cookie sheets and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks.
  • Meanwhile, make glaze: Combine powdered sugar with 1 tbsp water and stir until smooth, then stir in lemon juice. Drizzle glaze over cookies and cool until glaze hardens.

I made these cookies with gluten-free flour, and they turned out great! They were just as delicious as the traditional cookies, and my gluten-free friends were able to enjoy them too.

These cookies were a lifesaver! I needed something quick and easy to make for my kids' school bake sale, and these fit the bill perfectly. They were a big hit with the kids and the parents, too.

I made these cookies with whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar, and they were still delicious! They were a bit healthier than traditional frosted ginger cookies, but they were just as tasty.
