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've tried many frosted ginger cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the frosting is perfectly sweet and tangy.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but these cookies were still really good. The frosting is what really made them for me.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the cookies came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
