The L&T editors adored Lyn Chapman's crispy spice cookies so much, that they asked the Test Kitchen to create a light creamy frosting to go with them. "My husband loves ginger snaps and gingerbread," Lyn writes from Provo, Utah. "He was delighted when I made these cookies since they offered a ginger flavor but with a new twist." At only 1 gram of fat a piece, the whimsical treats make an ideal addition to a Christmas cookie platter or New Year's dessert buffet.

[email protected]The cookies spread a bit too much in the oven. I think I should have chilled the dough for longer before baking.

[email protected]I found that the dough was a bit too dry. I had to add an extra egg yolk to get it to come together.
