Lemon-Ginger Icebox Cookie Cupcakes image

These delicious "cupcakes" are actually made with cookies. When stacked between layers of whipped cream and then chilled, the cookies become cake-like. Fresh fruit adds a festive and colorful touch.

Time 12h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and lemon peel until soft dough forms. Stir in crystallized ginger. Divide dough in half. On waxed paper, shape each half into 8-inch-long roll. Wrap in waxed paper. Freeze about 1 hour or refrigerate about 3 hours until firm enough to slice.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Using a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut each roll into 32 (1/8-inch-thick) slices. Rotate roll while cutting to prevent flattening. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 1 inch apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In chilled deep small bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. On tray, place 16 cookies right sides up. Spread 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each cookie, then top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 4 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream. Place each cookie cupcake in a decorative cupcake liners. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Garnish with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, if desired.

Overall, these cupcakes were good but not great. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit dry.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet and I would appreciate a tarter lemon flavor.

These cupcakes were delicious! The lemon-ginger flavor was perfect and the icing was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

These cupcakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier texture.

I love the idea of these cupcakes, but I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions weren't very clear and I ended up having to guess at a few things.

These cupcakes were a hit! They were so light and fluffy, and the lemon-ginger flavor was perfect. I love how the icing added a bit of sweetness to balance out the tartness of the lemon.
