Source of Recipe


Bisquick






Recipe Introduction


A powdered sugar icing imparts a bit of sweetness to pleasantly spiced cookies.





List of Ingredients



• Cookies:
  
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  
• 1/4 cup shortening
  
• 1/2 cup molasses
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 3 1/2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
  
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  
• Icing:
  
• 1 cup powdered sugar
  
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
  
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening and molasses with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Beat in eggs. Stir in remaining cookie ingredients until well blended. (Dough will be sticky.)
   
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets.
   
3. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
   
4. In small bowl, mix icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle icing over cookies.

Kitchen Tips
You can choose how strong you want the molasses flavor of these cookies to be. Look for the lighter-colored mild-flavor molasses or the darker full-flavor molasses in the baking aisle of your grocery store.
Kitchen Tips
If the icing is too thick to drizzle, stir in additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until easy to drizzle.
