Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pkg (1 pound and 1/2 oz) sugar cookie mix
1/2 c shortening
1/4 c molasses
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 egg
FOR THE GLAZE AND THE TOPPING:
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
4 tsp lemon juice
1/4 c finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 2. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  • 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl), combine the cookie ingredients until very soft dough forms. It will be sticky, so don't worry about that.
  • 4. Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the dough into the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart, they spread a good bit so give them room.
  • 5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown and the cookies are just set.
  • 6. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 7. Meanwhile, stir together the powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth.
  • 8. When the cookies have cooled, spread a small amount of glaze on each cookie and top with a few pieces of the cystallized ginger.
  • 9. Allow the glaze to firm up, then store in an airtight container.

These delights were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I'll try making them again with less sugar.
