3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Butterscotch Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling |
1 egg |
2 cups flour |
1 tsp. baking soda |
1 Tbsp. ground ginger |
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon |
1 Tbsp. water |
1 c. powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. COMBINE first 4 ingredients. Beat all remaining ingredients except powdered sugar and water in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition. Refrigerate 1 hour.
2. HEAT oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness; cut into gingerbread shapes with 4-inch cookie cutter, rerolling trimmings as necessary. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
3. BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 3 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
4. MIX powdered sugar and water until blended. Use to decorate cookies as desired.
Make it Easy:
To easily decorate these cookies, fill a resealable plastic bag with prepared frosting. Seal the bag and cut a small corner off the bottom of the bag. Roll down the top of the bag to squeeze the frosting over the cookies to decorate as desired.
