2. Cooking Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg; mix well. Beat in molasses. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger; add to creamed mixture and mix well. (The dough will be very stiff.) Cover and chills several hours or overnight. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 2-1/4-in. to 2-1/2-in circles. Place 1/2 teaspoon preserves on half of the circles; top with remaining circles. Pinch edges together to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients and frost cooled cookies.
Yield: 24 servings
3. Still Hungry?
This recipe has been passed down for generations. I've made these cookies for years, but like my mother. I only make them for special occasions. They're fun to decorate and delicious to eat, with a "surprise flavor" inside.
